Court Ruling Halts Natural Gas Bans in Berkeley and Beyond, Southwest Airlines Experiences Delays.
TL;DR
The Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has ruled that the city of Berkeley's ordinance banning natural-gas pipes inside new buildings is invalid, as it is pre-empted by a federal rule that allows natural-gas infrastructure. This ruling makes it harder to impose natural-gas bans, meaning the fossil fuel is more likely to stay around for the foreseeable future.
