Whether a jurisdiction has started talking about a natural gas ban or not, if they’re striving towards a significant reduction in carbon emissions, they’re all going to be faced with the same decision: Are they going to require electrification or not?

The topic of bans is usually one that evokes a fair bit of emotion, especially in the U.S., with our Independence Day and Labor Day celebrations. 

The definition of “ban” is “to prohibit,” which can be viewed as an infringement on personal freedoms. However, a ban usually impacts not just an individual, but also a larger collective group. Banning books has been a way for some entity, group, or government to prohibit certain thoughts and ideas from percolating throughout their society.
