CALIFORNIA SENATOR SCOTT WIENER’S NEW BILL BANS GAS STOVES IN NEW HOMES—AND MY KITCHEN ALREADY FEELS COLD
You know, I’m just sitting here reading the news, and I’ve got to say—Scott Wiener has done it again. This time, he’s coming after our gas stoves. Apparently, his new bill says all new homes built in California have to be all-electric starting in 2026. No more gas hookups for cooking, heating, or water. And I’m supposed to believe this is about “climate change” and not just another way to make life harder for working families.
Let’s be real: I’ve lived in San Francisco my whole life, and I’ve never once thought, “You know what’s ruining my breakfast? The gas flame under my cast-iron skillet.” My grandma cooked on gas. My mom cooked on gas. My kids are learning to cook on gas. And now Scott Wiener wants to tell me that the only way to save the planet is to rip out the heart of my kitchen for some fancy induction stove that costs $3,000 and gives me a radiation headache?
Common sense says this is just another overreach from a politician who has never had to flip a burger at 6 AM before the kids wake up. My neighbor just finished her house last year, and now she’s panicking because she can’t even sell it without a gas stove. What’s next? Banning my toaster? My charcoal grill? My lawnmower? I swear, these people think we’re all made of money and patience.
And don’t even get me started on the “air quality” argument. I grew up in this city, and the only times I’ve smelled smoke were from the wildfires that Scott Wiener’s policies should have prevented. But no, he
