Blue Colorado ‘burb bans new gas stations to fight climate change

A Democratic-led suburb in Colorado is doing its “obligation” to fight climate change — approving a proposed ban on all new gas stations.

The city council in Louisville — 20 miles outside Denver — voted Tuesday to set the cap at six filling stations for its 21,000 residents. A seventh would be allowed only if it’s part of a large retail center.

Any new station would also be required to include at least two charging stations for electric vehicles — and be 1,000 feet away from an existing station.

“I don’t think any single action this council or community takes is going to fix climate change,” council member Maxine Most said during the vote. “But I think it’s a really good idea to decarbonize because it sends a signal and it sends a message.”

The message is “the city council is a bunch of idiots and worried about the wrong things.” But, hey, the citizens voted for these lunatics, when vital services start going downhill it’s on them.

The suburb currently has five gas stations, with a sixth approved for construction.

Louisville leaders also hope the ban persuades residents to ditch their gas vehicles for electric cars.

I’m not finding any articles where a reporter asked the members of the city council if they have switched over to EVs themselves, and ended any use of natural gas at their homes, among other things they can do to reduce their “carbon footprints.”

Meanwhile, Brandon took a fossil fueled helicopter to the airport, jumped in his jumbo jet, and took off to Canada today, with a multiple other fossil fueled airplanes to protect him, and
