If natural gas is banned in new construction, power plants use natural gas to generate electricity.

 

efficiency is 100% to send natural gas through pipeline, it means no gas loss on transporting, but big loss to convert gas to electricity and also big loss to transmit electricity on cables even though high voltage on transmission towers.

 

Why does government lose and waste natural gas with low efficiency?

What stupid project it is!!  

Does it have any corrupt trade with embezzlement?

 

How many % of efficiency is lost to convert natural gas to electricity?

What is the efficiency of converting natural gas to electricity?

A gas-fired plant was about 42% efficient. And in natural gas combined-cycle power plants—in which waste heat from a natural gas turbine is used to power a steam turbine—generation may be as much as 60% efficient,

States and Cities Faceoff Over Natural Gas Bans – Duane Morris Government Strategies DMGS

 

* Arizona;; In early 2020, Arizona became the first state to enact a law that would prevent municipalities in the state from enacting natural gas bans.

* Indiana;; House Bill 1191, which goes into effect July 1, 2021, prevents local governments from passing ordinances that would result in a de jure or de facto ban of natural gas or other energy sources in buildings.

* Iowa;; In April 2021, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill that prevents local governments from prohibiting the sale of natural gas or new natural gas hook-ups.

* Kansas;; In April 2021, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly chose to neither sign nor veto the Energy Choice Act,

* Kentucky;; In March 2021, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear signed House Bill 207 into law.

* Louisiana;; In June 2020, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards signed Senate Bill 492 into effect, preventing local governments from banning natural gas.

* Mississippi;; In March 2021, Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed the All Fuels Act of 2021, preemptively prohibiting localities from banning the connection of certain utilities based on the energy source.

* Oklahoma;; In May 2020, Oklahoma implemented HB 3619, which prevents cities, towns, and counties from discriminating against utility providers based on the energy source of the utility.

* Texas;; In May 2021, Governor Greg Abbot signed House Bill 17 into law, barring city governments from discriminating against or favoring one energy source over another in their regulation of utility services.

Meanwhile, four states where policymakers have passed measures that restrict building gas use -- California, Colorado, New York, Washington -- accounted for 24% of the nation's residential gas use and 20% of its commercial gas demand in 2020.

Why are cities banning natural gas in new construction?

Some cities in the US want to ban natural gas hookups in new homes and buildings, to reduce their fossil fuel emissions and meet their climate targets. Natural gas is primarly made of methane, an extremely potent planet-warming gas
