California At It Again (Still...)

 They won't be happy until everyone with an income and a neuron leaves the state.

It’s Not Just a Ban on Natural Gas Appliances!

CA Politicians Enact New Crazy Bans to Raise Your Costs and Disrupt Your Life

Support the Campaign to Block the Natural Gas Ban in CA

As we continue to wage a statewide campaign to block California’s costly ban on all natural gas appliances (and the even more costly and intrusive home retrofit mandates), our state’s liberal politicians are expanding their list of absurd bans!  Before we get to the list of crazy new bans being enacted, this reinforces WHY we MUST WIN this campaign to block the ban on and costly retrofit mandate ($30k per homeowner) to remove natural gas appliances in homes!  By punishing politicians on the natural gas appliance ban, we believe it will send a message that Californians are sick of the other costly and intrusive bans! That’s why winning this fight is so crucial – so please contribute to the fight today!

Costly Bans Being Enacted in California

Here’s what they banned in just this recent session of the state legislature: Grass Lawns (AB 1572): This bill begins the outright ban on grass lawns in California by banning them for all commercial, retail, industrial, and governmental parcels and buildings. While there is no implementation date for single family homes (for now), HOA’s are also banned from having grass in common areas! This imposes an enormous cost for landscaping changes – and experts say it will backfire by negatively impacting air quality. Plastic Cards (SB 728): Small businesses will be negatively impacted by this bill that imposes fines of up to $10,000 per day if a business uses pre-paid plastic gift cards! This virtue-signaling bill will not help the environment, but it will inconvenience small businesses and customers alike! Just so you know the plastic bag ban from 2014 actually INCREASED plastic waste by replacing thin bags with heavy duty bags for 10-cents a pop. Per capita bag waste went from 8 pounds per person to 11 pound per person in 2021 in CA! Food Bans (AB 418): Continuing their nanny state mindset, CA politicians have banned Skittles and other colored candy that use Red Dye No. 3 and other additives. Perris CA banned stores from putting “junk food” in their checkout aisles – leading two major stores to announce they would close in that jurisdiction. Up next: bans on sugary drinks to minors! Bans in Process: CA Democrats pushed several bills to next year to ban a number of things including: Police K9 dogs (because they are “racist”), solitary confinement in prison, etc. CA Democrats are phasing in bans on the sale of gas-powered cars, gas-powered leaf blowers, youth tackle football, criminal background checks for employers and landlords, smoking outside, etc. Natural Gas Appliances: The Biden Administration has swung into overdrive to issue a variety of new regulatory mandates that will help CA politicians win court approval of their costly and intrusive natural gas appliance bans. Stoves: Biden’s Department of Energy just issued a regulation to ban 50% of gas stove appliances immediately. Washing Machine and Dryers: New mandates take effect 2025. Air Conditioners: New mandates take effect 2026. Water Heaters: New mandates take effect 2029.

Help Us Turn the Tide by Defeating California’s Natural Gas Appliance Bans

The BAN EVERYTHING mindset of liberal politicians will only continue to expand until we make a stand on just ONE of these items and punish politicians at the ballot box! That’s why our fight against the Natural Gas Appliance Bans in California is so crucial! It is no longer about just one ban – but all of them.

That’s why we MUST CONTINUE our fight against the costly and crazy natural gas appliance bans at the ballot box!

Here's what's being proposed under this mandate: IMMEDIATELY: All new homes and buildings will be prohibited from putting in any new natural gas appliances – not just stoves, but all appliances such as furnaces, ovens, water heaters, etc. 2027-2035: Existing homeowners will be given a deadline to pay for expensive home retrofits to remove ALL of their existing gas appliances – all stoves, ovens, water heaters, furnaces! The Bay Area got hit with a 2027 deadline; San Diego already announced 2033 is their target. Every week a new region proposes a new deadline for costly retrofits! Here's how much it will cost you: What will the mandatory home retrofits cost you? An average cost of $30,000 or more per home! (READ FULL COST ESTIMATE HERE: https://reformcalifornia.org/news/banning-gas-appliances-will-cost-california-homeowners-over-30k-each) How we can fight back: A campaign led by Reform California, Reform Local Government PAC, and a coalition of local taxpayer watchdog groups has been launched to BLOCK this costly and crazy proposal. The campaign to block these mandates includes alerting voters in target areas, recruiting and supporting candidates for office who oppose the retrofit mandates, threatening recalls against elected officials who support the mandates, and organizing ballot measure drives to stop any new mandates from taking effect. We were not expecting to have to fight this costly and unfair proposal – so please chip in a contribution to our campaign TODAY so we can mount effective opposition to it!

The Natural Gas Bans and Retrofit Mandates Are Spreading Across CA! Help Us Stop This Before It’s Too Late!
