Liberal Lunacy: Berkeley Bans Natural Gas



The Looney Left Report

Each time I see a story like this coming from the People's Republic of Commiefornia, the more glad I am that I moved out. The lunatics have taken over. No wonder people are fleeing the state.

The latest comes from Berkeley (or, as some call it, Berserkley).



From Daniel Turner of Fox News:
From sanctuary cities to brutally high taxes, California is the undisputed center of gravity for today’s far-left. If you want to see how liberal policies would look on a national level, you don’t have to imagine it. You can just look at the thousands fleeing the once-great state. 
In the latest chapter of California’s descent into liberal madness, the city of Berkeley – a hotbed of radical liberalism – became the first city in America to ban natural gas from new homes and businesses, including restaurants that use natural gas for stoves. 
Environmentalists are reportedly hailing this development as a major victory, and it might not be an isolated incident. More than 50 other cities in California are considering following Berkeley’s lead. 
While it’s unsurprising that Berkeley – a city that’s already banned plastic straws – would ban natural gas, that’s little consolation to the citizens who have not yet fled. 
Natural gas is a critical fuel used by homes, both for cooking on gas ranges and for heating. Berkeley’s new law hurts homeowners both by depriving them of freedom and by forcing them to use more expensive alternatives, notably electric stoves and heating. 
There are major advantages to gas cooking. Those include finer temperature control, quicker temperature response times, easy cleaning, and reliability when the power goes out. Ask anyone who watches the Food Network or who works at a restaurant whether they’d like to use a gas range or an electric range.

A friend in Southern California wrote:
Nearly everything in the homes here is gas.  I pay $34 a month for gas.  If these morons get their way, we would have to revamp everything and the guy that built our house lives next door and talked to us and said not to go solar - it will never repay the cost of putting it in, even after thirty years.  These people are insane! 
I couldn't have said it better!
