California Bans Natural Gas Furnaces & Water Heaters

The state of California is banning the sale of natural gas furnaces and water heaters by the year 2030 in the name of its anti-fossil fuel green energy agenda.

On Friday, the California Air Resources Board voted to enact the policy, which will phase out sales of gas heaters and furnaces in favor of electric ones in purported efforts to combat climate change.

Environmental advocate Leah Louis Prescott claimed the move would eventually lead to cleaner air for Californians by reducing emissions, pollution and smog.

“Together furnaces and water heaters typically that run on gas account for 90% of gas use in the average California household. So just eliminating these two sources of pollution is going to be a big win for our air quality and our health as well as for addressing climate change,” Prescott stated, according to Fox 5 San Diego.

“We’re really hopeful that this is the beginning of a domino effect and other states will follow California’s lead,” she said, adding, “I do think a lot more states are going to be following in California’s footsteps and looking at this as an opportunity to reduce the pollution in our homes and businesses.”

The radical move comes amid a slate of other carbon-cutting “green” policies, with the state’s Air Resource Board announcing last month it aimed to ban the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles incrementally over the coming years, with a goal of 100% of new vehicles sold to be electric by 2035.

Leftist politicians in the Golden State also earlier this year enacted a ban on “small off-road engines,” referring to motors in gasoline-powered lawn mowers and leaf blowers, with a goal of eliminating gas-powered lawn equipment sales after 2024.

A proposal floated earlier this week by the Air Resources Board also wants to phase out semi-trucks that run on diesel by 2040.
