Brickbat: It's a Gas

Groups including the ACLU and the Sierra Club are backing Oak Park, Illinois, as it defends in federal court its ban on natural gas hookups in new buildings. A lawsuit from natural gas and construction industry groups argues the ban breaks federal laws limiting how state and local governments can limit federally regulated energy sources. Oak Park officials say the policy is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of its plan to make the city carbon neutral by 2050.

Is shit OK for me to burn my anally-emitted natural gasses instead, for cooking and home heating? Shit seems to me that no matter how much "Beano" I take along with my healthy diet, inevitably I will emit gastro-intestinally-generated gasses. This being an inevitable fact of life, twat does Al Gore say? Twat is the right thing to do for the environment, burn my farts, or let them go unmolested?

Of course, the libertarian take is that NEITHER the federal or local governments should be mandating what energy source builders must use.

ACLU. Classic.
