Berkley trying to pull a fast one. Gas Hook ups. What’s next? Gas stoves?
Last year the 9th told California that you can’t ban gas stoves or building hook ups. Several cities passed these asinine laws. Berkley being one.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last year struck down the city of Berkeley’s ordinance that sought to ban natural gas hookups in new buildings, finding it conflicted with federal law. But Berkeley’s climate obsessives are trying to do an end-run with a November voter initiative that would tax owners of larger buildings for consuming gas.
