It’s a lot easier to just ban stuff than to regulate things so they’re done properly. I’m sure if building inspectors did an unannounced tour of 100 random apartment buildings in New York they’d find a list of code violations a mile long.
- dmix 4y agoThat doesn't make banning suddenly better because regulation/codes are so broken.
- brewdad 4y agoYes it does. Unless you think reforming regulators will somehow be easier.
- bombcar 4y agoBanning turns enforcement from a "is this gas stove properly vented, when inspected before either are installed" to a "is that a gas hookup for this building? wtf"
- mercutio2 4y agoEvery new building already has a raft of inspections. Banning something at construction time has by far the least regulatory impact of any intervention. If anyone was proposing turning off existing methane infrastructure, that would be quite different.
