The Biden administration is asking a federal appeals court to rethink its decision to strike down a California city's ban on natural gas hookups in new buildings.
Rudford's restaurant owners Nick and Jeff Kacha discuss Palo Alto granting celebrity chef José Andrés an exemption.
"The ordinance prohibits the installation of certain energy infrastructure in new construction," it continued."It thereby affects, indirectly, the circumstances in which some products may be used in some locations. The panel did not explain why this ordinance’s indirect effects warranted preemption or why other health and safety ordinances would not."
Judge Patrick Bumatay, who penned the opinion of the court, said the law took a"circuitous route to the same result.""Instead of directly banning those appliances in new buildings, Berkeley took a more circuitous route to the same result," he wrote."It enacted a building code that prohibits natural gas piping into those buildings, rendering the gas appliances useless.
