i'm so glad I don't live in san francisco. Every time i read about these types of edicts, it just blows my mind. How long until they ban the sale of meat? methane from livestock is the 3rd largest producer of greenhouse gases.

I’m sure people rued coal and wood stoves being sidelined too. I know they did with incandescent lightbulbs.

It’s always easy to misjudge what one is unfamiliar with. Have you personally tried a home that used induction stoves and heat pumps for water and house heating?

Not only that, is global warming suddenly not an issue because it might inconvenience people who are reticent to try new things? Putting gas in a new construction means those emissions are essentially locked in for several decades. We don’t have that time. Don’t hate on something that one hasn’t tried.
