The Bay Area Air Quality District is considering rules to ban gas-powered water heaters and furnaces in an area already prone to blackouts from extreme weather.
Homeowners and builders are calling a possible ban on certain gas-powered appliances in the San Francisco Bay Area an extreme move, forcing a region prone to blackouts to rely even further on an over-burdened electrical supply.
"This is just pure extremist politics being taken to the ultimate extremes," said National Association of Home Builders CEO Jerry Howard.
"Once you start down this path that gas is bad, it gives momentum to all of these extremists who are choosing to ignore the facts and pursue an agenda that is only going to cause more people to be paying too much for their housing or, God forbid, more homelessness in an area that's already ravaged by homelessness," he continued.
