A friend and colleague from California used to say sardonically that every stupid idea starts in California and spreads eastward like the plague. He was a lifelong native of that asylum. 13 California cities have outlawed the use of natural gas in new or remodeled buildings. Clearly no thought given to where the required electric resources will come from or what fuel will be used, or what transmission and distribution investments will be needed to accommodate the mandate. Affordable and reliable be damned. Father knows best. And in U.S. Census Bureau news, net out migration from the asylum continues to accelerate.
