Mama Mia! NYC rules crack down on coal, wood-fired pizzerias — must cut carbon emissions up to 75%

Mamma Mia!

Historic Big Apple pizza joints could be forced to dish out mounds of dough under a proposed city edict targeting pollutant-spewing coal-and-wood-fired ovens, The Post has learned.

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new rules that would order eateries using the decades-old baking method to slice carbon emissions by up to 75%.

“All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” DEP spokesman Ted Timbers said in a statement Sunday. “This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups, requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible.”

The rule could require pizzerias with such ovens installed prior to May 2016 to buy pricey emission-control devices — with the owner of one Brooklyn joint saying he’s already tossed $20,000 on an air filter system in anticipation of the new mandate.

From the Babylon Bee: Trump Indicted In New York For Eating Pizza Cooked In Wood-Burning Oven

"He must face justice for this heinous act," said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. "Everyone knows wood-burning pizza ovens are a danger to public safety and pose the most immediate threat to our democracy. President Trump must learn he is not above the law." ...

Because in the midst of all this...



Shutting down a few pizzerias will make such a big difference.

So weird ... I mean really really weird. Someone in politics has investments in carbon reduction systems. With
Democrats, nothing they do is really about what they claim. Democrats don't give a flying shit about 'the environment' or so-called 'climate change'. Democrats only care about money and power, and that is all they care about. All this will do is cause more restaurants to close. And it will drive even more businesses and people out of NYC.

Could just be another opportunity for inspectors to pick up a little on the side...Nice place you got here, be a shame if it was in violation...

Yep. It's never about what they say it is about.
The same with gays chanting, "We are coming for your children!" This 'explosion' of radical faggotry in America is all intended to distract the public from Joe and Hunter Biden. It has nothing to do with homosexuals or trans people.
It is never about what they claim it is about. It is all about control and distractions.

Yep. Smoke and mirrors to conceal the rot underneath.
