Brickbat: Bad Gas

The Colorado Public Utilities Commission has passed rules that could make it more difficult and more expensive to build new natural gas pipelines or extend existing ones in the state. The rules require regulators to sign off on any pipeline construction plans by natural gas utilities with more than 90,000 customers. Utilities would have to pay the full costs of pipelines up front. Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has set a goal for natural gas utilities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4 percent by 2025 and by 22 percent by 2030.

I’d like to see a company big enough to just do it without permission and hiring armed mercenaries to block enforcement of the regulations.
I earn $100 per hour while taking risks and travelling to remote parts of the world. I worked remotely last week while in Rome, Monte Carlo, and eventually Paris. I’m back in the USA this week. I only perform simple activities from this one excellent website. see it,

Armed mercenaries can't fight an enemy that can turn off your life with a few mouse clicks.
No you wouldn't. A company able and willing to do that is juzt as willing and able to do things you wouldn't like.
Heat pumps and a wood stove will work great there in the winter.
Google pay 200$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12000 for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it outit.. ???? AND GOOD LUCK.:)

Wood-chippers would work even better!
Wood stoves, fireplaces, charcoal grills, firepits, etc. will be on the list for banning shortly.
Last time I was out there, they had banned both indoor and outdoor fires statewide due to severe drought conditions.
My experience with heat pumps is that they don't work well in that environment. They don't heat well in extreme cold or cool well in extreme heat.

How dreamy.
Having natural gas companies reduce greenhouse emissions is a stupid cynical goal. You burn gas directly, get CO2. What he's saying is for them to do less business. Unless he wants them to break it down for the hydrogen and sell only that for fuel. Of course H2O is a greenhouse gas too, but maybe it's better hidden in the gas-liquid-ice water cycle.
There's always an opportunity for them to reduce total emissions by using fewer diesel burning trucks/trains to move their gas around and do more transportation using pipelines which don't require as much constantly moving infrastructure to do the same amount of total work.
Why does Colorado need natural gas for power generation? I'm sure solar panels work great when they're covered with snow.
You pay a snow removal service to come out and remove the snow from the roof. There is a safety anchor on every roof for the person doing the removal. You might think I'm joking, but I'm not. Solar in mandatory in all new construction in several Colorado counties already.
Enforced affluence.
ah so not such the freedom guy, Governor City-State?
And in another few decades.....
Democrat Governor signs mandatory Labor Camps and Firing Squads for more *free* stuff and to prevent massive CO2 emissions from people.
The woke-religion and their planet puritanism. As history repeats itself over and over and over again. Because Power-Mad psychopaths can't keep their Power in check.
You know who else had some bad gas policies?
Ferdinand von Zeppelin?
It's about nothing but the destruction of the country.
