WA is a state. If you read the article, the ruling was about whom has jurisdiction in zoning matters. Essentially. WA may be able to do it, though expect another suit from the restaurant association that sued Berkley for their ban.

No, I don't think Biden would. Natural gas is not really clean, so it isn't really "nonsense". But it is cleaner than coal or oil products (petrol). Doing a nationwide ban would be very unpopular. And, frankly, we have bigger fish to fry (see what I did there?).

We have natural gas in our house. We had a sort of "duh" moment a few months ago, and started turning on the vent hood every time we ignite a flame. Often the hood was on when cooking anyway, but not always. The auto-on feature doesn't trigger unless there's a moderate amount of steam/smoke. But the byproducts of burning natural gas are not good for you. Should have realized that a long time ago. So now, if it doesn't turn on automatically, we turn it on to vent any fumes from the combustion. Yes, our vent hood vents to the outside, and is VERY powerful (they installed some fresh air vents in the house so that when the hood is on it isn't creating a negative pressure in the house).
