If your power goes out and you need to heat your home, there are no restrictions on the fireplace. They only apply if you have an alternative.

What’s your point? Nobody is discussing building new buildings with fireplaces or adding fireplaces to existing buildings when converting their heat from gas to electric (I’m pretty sure neither of these activities are even allowed in the Bay Area!)

> I do have a wood burning fireplace as a backup, but those have all sorts of restrictions on use and new ones aren't permitted.

He already has one and says they have restrictions.

Ah, thanks for pointing this out!
