How stupid can eco-libs be? Do they think electricity comes from the fairy god mother?

Meanwhile, the EU has declared CH4 to be a green fuel since it has only one carbon atom.

Electric heating in NYC can run $400 to $600 per month for a one bedroom apartment that is never warm enough.


quote:

Montgomery County, Md., on Tuesday enacted the East Coast's first countywide ban on using natural gas for heating purposes in new buildings.

County Executive Marc Elrich has not yet signed the ban into law, but is expected to do so as he has previously voiced support for the measure, according to Energy Wire. The nine members of the Montgomery County Council, all Democrats, voted unanimously to enact the Comprehensive Building Decarbonization plan, which is slated to take effect in 2026.

A template of the plan, introduced earlier this year, stated that 50% of the county's greenhouse gas emissions for the year 2017 came from environmental inefficiencies, which the new all-electric standards would gradually work to reduce.

I hope the commercial real estate agents and business owner Democrats who voted for their new Governor in MD are happy about saving the planet.

They can all give themselves a nice and long slow clap while they see their energy bills rise by several orders of magnitude now.

So, does this include every new residential home as well?

Does that mean every occupant of a new home that is built to this code which restricts usage of natural gas have to potentially pay higher heating energy bills relative to using natural gas?

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

Geez...we really need a way to figure out where all these people are getting these ideas and how they are benefiting from them. This is not "best for my constituency" kind of move. Same as how ALL the Soros backed DAs seem to be following the same evil gameplan. That's not organic, and not repping the people they are suppose to be serving.

Apparently, Biden just tripled+ the value of carbon payments that companies are going to have to pay to offset their "imprint." Was like $50 per "xyz" and now its in the $190/"xys". NG gonna go up up up up

Tell the residents in this Maryland County to unpack an extra blanket. It gets a bit nippy during winter.

That's because there is a guy living next door who doesn't use heat because he doesn't want the neighbors to report the cadaver smell if they thaw.

Demand and pricing for old buildings about to go up

I’d be buying up old abandoned buildings left and right

This will put the electrical grid in worse shape than it already is. Imagine adding that amount of load on the grid at one time.

What about methanethiol, CH3SH. It's only got one carbon atom, and stinks to high heaven.
