California Moves to Ban Natural Gas Furnaces and Heaters by 2030

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The sad part here is that if a manufacturer can't sell gas-fired water heaters in California, he'll have to stop making them ...

Will he? Last I checked there are 49 other states to sell to.

Let's see your math ... it's 75ºF in Los Angeles at the moment ... how much money to heat with electricity and how much using chunks of coal? ...

... assuming perfect efficiencies ... [giggle] ...

Is the answer 42?

You're from New England ... proves you know nothing about climate ...

Are you on drugs? Or are you off your medication?

[giggle] ... 49 states enslaved to California vehicle emissions standards ...

But I agree with you 100% ... California laws aren't enforceable in these 49 ... so no one in these 49 should care ... at least treat it for what it is ... lipstick on a pig ... and taking gas away from PG&E is safer for the public ...

Put a big dent in my largest holdings (NG MLPs) yesterday: Down 5+%.
California is 12% of the USA population. (not just 1 of 49).
Increasing the NG market is going to be export to Germany et al.
Though there is a permanent place for it here as part of the mix as the cleanest Fossil source.

The authorities of the state of California have adopted a new law aimed at combating climate change. There is a curious point in it: residents of the state will be able to legally turn the dead into compost. Officials are sure that if the bodies of the deceased go to fertilizers, it will help to reduce the level of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
The bill authorizing in the state of California from 2027 "natural organic restoration" (NOR), or simply the transformation of the body into compost, was signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom, The New York Post reported on September 20.

State Assembly Bill 351, introduced by Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, considers organic decomposition of human remains in soil as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial methods.

Introducing the law, Garcia stated that "this is an alternative method of final disposal that will reduce emissions into our atmosphere."

NOR involves placing the body of the deceased in a 2.5m long steel box with biodegradable materials such as wood shavings. The box is ventilated to allow germs and bacteria to grow. Then the remains are moved to the soil, where they decompose in about 30-60 days.

The composted land obtained in this way is then transferred to the family of the deceased or donated to nature reserves.

It is reported that NOR is less energy-consuming than cremation, in which fossil fuels are burned and carbon monoxide is released. According to National Geographic, about 360,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide are released annually during cremation in the United States.

Composting is also a more cost-effective alternative to traditional funeral services. But it's not carbon dioxide emissions that are being compared here, but the cost of funerals. The newspaper, citing the National Association of Funeral Directors, reports that on average traditional funerals cost $7848, f NOR is cheaper, from $4 thousand to $5.5 thousand.

California is the fifth state to legalize human composting; this practice is already legal in Washington, Colorado, Vermont and Oregon — all four states, like California, are considered Democratic strongholds. A similar bill has been sent to the Governor of New York for signature and is awaiting the signature of Governor Kathy Hokul.

Only the California Catholic Conference protested against this practice, which sent a letter to lawmakers against bill AB 351, saying that it "reduces the human body to just a disposable commodity."

Kathleen Domingo, executive director of the California Catholic Conference, noted that the NOR process is based on methods originally developed for livestock.

Man isolated himself from the animal world and became a man when he began to bury his fellow tribesmen. "Eco-friendly" innovations suggest forgetting that man was created in the image and likeness of God, that ritual rituals made man a man and abandon centuries-old rituals, starting to treat man like cattle.

But as soon as it is recognized that the human body is no different from the body of a cow, then the number of people can be regulated by the same methods as the number of cows or chickens.

So the theory of the "golden billion" is being implemented in practice.

Gulag burial much cheaper, eh comrade?
