California is banning natural gas and pushing everyone to go all electric - which they turn off.
Sweet Saint of San Andreas, hear my prayers....
California is in turmoil. Despite the fact our state accounts for the fifth-largest economy in the world, blackouts and other problems with the electrical grid are posing existential challenges to the high quality of life millions of Californians have come to expect. That’s not to mention the devastating fires. One would think political leaders and regulators would look for ways to diversify access to safe and reliable energy sources, but incredibly, that’s not the case.
On Thursday, Nov. 7th, the Public Utilities Commission will discuss placing a ban on natural gas in new homes, in an attempt to phase gas out completely in favor of universal electrification. It’s safe to say a natural gas ban for businesses and existing homes won’t be far behind.
Estimates are that such a ban would increase annual energy costs by nearly $400 for every single-family homeowner in the state. The cost of replacing natural gas appliances would be $7,200 per household. Total estimated statewide cost to residents is between $4 billion and $6 billion, according to a study by Navigant Research.
