After spending months mocking conservatives and calling them conspiracy theorists for accurately warning that big government statists were coming for your gas stoves, CNN’s “chief climate correspondent” and climate change alarmist Bill Weir took to the airwaves during Thursday’s CNN News Central to praise New York state’s ban on [natural gas].
As usual, today’s conservative conspiracy theory is tomorrow’s reality. [emphasis, links added]
Co-host Jessica Dean kicked it off by praising the law, claiming “this is big for climate advocates,” but “millions of people rely on gas to warm their homes or to cook with,” she added.
Weir agreed and proclaimed it to be a “very emotional thing.”
“People love the idea of a furnace burning in the basement to keep them warm or they like the way their food cooks. It’s a cultural thing,” he added.
After trying to at least show some sympathy for Americans who want to cook on gas stoves or heat their homes, he defended the authoritarian law because, according to Weir “there is no doubt the science is showing us that those choices are heating up the planet at sort of a scary rate.”
He then praised Berkeley, California, for banning gas [hookups] until “the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down their ban on gas hookups to new buildings there.”
But he pointed out that Democrat officials found other ways around the roadblocks the courts put up.
“There [are] other routes to it. Different building codes, energy codes that could make this easier for others who want to do this.”
Weir then huffed that the “natural gas industry, the lobby, some restaurant lobbyists are fighting back against this” and “Republicans in New York [are] saying why shouldn’t a New Yorker have a choice on how they heat their homes.”
This is a “simmering energy war,” Weir proclaimed.
So just like the culture wars, leftists begin abusing average everyday Americans who just want to live their lives, and if they fight back, Weir accuses them of waging an “energy war.”

Anyone who believes anything cnn reports
is as stupid and demented as
Cho ByDin and Aoc.
The issue with natural gas shows just how stupid people such as Weir are. Renewable energy provides 14% of the US electricity. When a new house can’t use natural gas, it will use electric that will come from either natural gas or coal.
