[quote=Anonymous]It is odd that they think banning gas stations in TP would be climate friendly. If they want to push residents to not use fossil fuels then add on a big tax for owning a car that is not electric and/or give a tax credit for owning one that is electric. Restrict parking to electric vehicles. Get rid of parking.

Banning gas stations in a small neighborhood only sends the drivers to get gas to the other neighborhood creating more congestion and wasting fossil fuels.

Banning gas stoves is a bit extreme but they could require that all new builds include solar. They could give a bigger tax credit on getting solar when you get a new roof. They could require remodels or renovations to include bringing a house up to a greener standard. Lots of things they could do that would make a difference. The ones this group seems to choose though just seem useless and inflammatory for no purpose. Its almost as TP residents want to pretend that they are super progressive but in reality do not want to actually be progressive. They avoid the basic progressive things and go for the extreme that they know will not pass. [/quote]
