Residents would be required to replace gas-burning appliances with electric units, beginning in 2027 in the case of most water heaters, and 2029 in the case furnaces.<\/p>\n<p>The Bay Area Air Quality Management District board&#8217;s broad proposal is similar in scope to a Biden administration move to clamp down on gas stoves, which are allegedly linked to childhood asthma. The news immediately drew public outrage. Media described it as the latest twist on the existing trend. &#8220;culture wars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The proposed ban in Bay Area would be applicable to large numbers of homeowners in the populous county of Contra Costa, Marin. Napa. San Francisco. San Mateo. Santa Clara.<\/p>\n<p>The requirements for apartment buildings and businesses will be met by them until 2031. The proposal is being defended by supporters who call it a matter for public health. <em>Chronicle<\/em> Reports claim that appliances in homes can pollute as much or more than vehicles. &#8220;multiplied over millions of households,&#8221; They can cause asthma and other health problems. As part of their climate change agenda, environmentalists have long advocated for the prohibition of everyday gas appliances.<\/p>\n<p>Although the proposal is only applicable to the Bay Area, it shows the climate ambitions state legislators. California Democrats boast that their policies are leading the way for the rest, but they have been pushing aggressively for laws against gas-powered appliances, vehicles, tools, and vehicles. Recently, the governor and state legislators have banned gas-powered appliances, vehicles, and tools. Gavin Newsom&#8217;s (D.) administration banned future gas car sales and gas leaf blowers\u2014prohibitions that\u00a0hurt middle-class and poor Californians the most.<\/p>\n<p>Officials call for households to be completely dependent on electricity, despite the fact that the electric grid is experiencing unprecedented strain. California&#8217;s leaders called for people to use less air conditioning and conserve energy during the heat wave that hit last summer. Democrats have been pushing for huge solar and offshore wind projects to achieve their zero-emissions goals. This is despite the fact that these power sources can be notoriously unstable.<\/p>\n<p>The push to &#8220;go green,&#8221; Californians have seen a severe energy crunch and skyrocketing electricity prices\u2014which forced Newsom to delay Democrats&#8217; planned closure of the state&#8217;s only nuclear power plant. The state has nearly 10 million nuclear energy suppliers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you may soon have to give up your natural gas heaters.<br \/>\nThe post Bay Area Regulators Want To Ban Gas Furnaces and Water Heaters appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1604,"featured_media":1816393,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[7008,8324,4092,15693,7536,15692,9830,5994],"class_list":["post-1816390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-ban","tag-bay","tag-beacon","tag-furnaces","tag-gas","tag-heaters","tag-regulators","tag-water"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1816390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1604"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1816390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1816390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1816393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1816390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1816390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1816390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
