DOJ Sues New Jersey Town Over Natural Gas Ban

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against Morris Township in New Jersey over its ban on natural gas and other fossil fuels in newly constructed buildings, the department said in an April 1 statement.
The ban "drives up energy costs for everyday American consumers and weakens our Nation's energy dominance," the DOJ said.
"Such policies reflect a radical left effort to outlaw federally regulated gas stoves, furnaces, water heaters, dryers, and other appliances that American families rely on daily to cook their meals and heat their homes."
