Chicago mulls ban on NATURAL GAS in most new buildings to “fight climate change”

The Chicago City Council is mulling an ordinance that would ban the use of natural gas in most new buildings in a bid to "fight climate change."

The proposal, dubbed the Clean and Affordable Buildings Ordinance (CABO), would set an emission standard effectively prohibiting natural gas via an unreachable standard. This would make the Windy City the latest blue city to prohibit future homes from using gas stoves. It would also pave the way for electric heating and appliances that reportedly emit lower greenhouse gases.

"This is a matter of real survival and the future of our city – and especially our economic future," said Democratic Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who introduced the CABO. "We're being forced in this direction [not only] by nature, but also by policy, by business and [by] industry. People are making these decisions because it's economical, it's healthier [and] it's safer." (Related: Dangerous Biden rule would outlaw nearly every gas-powered generator as well as gas stoves.)

Under the CABO, the combustion of any substance that emits 25 kilograms or more of carbon dioxide per million British thermal units of energy would be prohibited. According to the Gazette, New York City (NYC) enacted a similar measure in 2021. However, the CABO's new emission standard provides exceptions for some buildings and equipment – such as hospitals, laboratories, backup generators and commercial cooking equipment.

Matters not.
Chicago's days as a city of any importance are numbered.
Regardless of its size and location, it's fading fast...

It makes me wonder....

Often in the Tels that are the mounds remaining of ancient cities, which often contain multiple occupational layers, there are layers of charcoal in with the end of one culture, eventually overlain by the remnants of the next. 

Location,Location, Location, and a good site for large groups of humans will remain thus after nature reclaims the remnants of the last gathering, so another city will be built over the ashes of the last.

That charcoal layer begs the question of whether it was from a Natural Disaster, a military conquest, or just a fire that got out of hand, but in Tel Chicago, I think the layer will be from burning the furniture to keep warm.
