The Climate Realism Show

Proposals floated by the Biden administration to ban various natural gas appliances rob consumers of choice for no real benefit.

Show Notes

In general, natural gas appliances are more efficient and less expensive to purchase and operate than electric appliances. Claims that they are a public health threat based on a single study by an environmental group are refuted by decades of safe use. Proposals floated by the Biden administration and New York's governor to ban various natural gas appliances have sparked a backlash, and rightly so, since this robs consumers of choice for no real benefit.
