Victoria bans the construction of homes heated with natural gas

True North is reporting that "Victoria councillors have banned the construction of homes that rely on fossil fuels like natural gas for heating after the year 2025. This week, city councillors touted its 'zero carbon' policy, which will require all future developments to be heated using renewable energy only." That is bat sh*t crazy and falls under the definition of fake environmentalism.

Natural gas is clean burning. Industrial coal is not. This is like banning farming to save the environment. It is a lie with a sinister agenda. Natural gas is clean burning but it's also cheap. Heating your home with electricity is expensive and will get a lot worse when natural gas is phased out. BC Hydro has a ballooning debt the government keeps deferring because Gordon Campbell privatized the Independent Power Producers that sell power to the public company at above market rates. Phasing out natural gas reinforces that fraud and magnifies that debt.

Victoria needs to elect a new City Council ASAP. Those clowns need to be replaced.
