The nation’s first natural gas ban is repealed but advocates seek other ways to ban stoves
With billions of dollars flowing to nonprofits dedicated to eliminating natural gas use, there are similar laws across the U.S. that have passed or are being considered.

“Climate change must be addressed, but piecemeal policies at the local level like bans on natural gas piping in new buildings or all-electric ordinances, which are preempted by federal law, are not the answer,” said Jot Condie, CEO of the California Restaurant Association, in a statement.
It seems economic impact of these policies are not usually considered, or even calculated in the least.
To what IMPACT will the gas stove ban "save the planet"?
Can it even be empirically proven that banning gas stoves will "save the planet"?
Seems like a play to sell more electric stoves. How about the carbon impact of manufacturing new electric stoves to replace gas stoves? What about the solid waste of the trashed gas stoves?
THIS IS A BIG WIN FOR THE SANE.
