I just heard that California is outlawing the use of natural gas in cooking. Has everyone in California gone completely nuts, or is it just the ignorant politicians? What will America do without a gradual switch from fossil fuels to not-yet invented methods to generate electricity? Will California and other unthinking states completely collapse the U.S. economy without considering what their poorly conceived laws will do to the Citizens of the U.S.? According to most sources, Natural Gas is the least polluting fossil fuel. Coal is the worst and the most popular fuel form globally. Natural gas in its current form only pollutes with carbon dioxide, not all the nasty things in coal and to a lesser extent oil. Both oil and natural gas can be more easily scrubbed of carbon dioxide. The technology to do just that is advancing daily with new devices and methods. Shortly, California and other states with short-sighted leaders will have no electricity, and no water, and the people will have no idea what to do about climate change. Then we will go back to cutting down trees and using wood to cook our food. Does that seem like progress?
