Mama Mia! NYC rules crack down on coal-, wood-fired pizzerias — must cut carbon emissions up to 75%

Mamma Mia!

Historic Big Apple pizza joints could be forced to dish out mounds of dough under a proposed city edict targeting pollutant-spewing coal-and-wood-fired ovens, The Post has learned.

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new rules that would order eateries using the decades-old baking method to slice carbon emissions by up to 75%.

Below, a very logical and overdue reaction:

Total moral inversion.

    Feds give final approval to New York’s congestion pricing program
    by Ben Brachfeld – June 26, 2023

    Excerpt:

    With the FONSI, the MTA’s Traffic Mobility Review Board can begin the process of finalizing t0lling rates and the complex array of rules governing the program. The TMRB can set toll rates anywhere within a considerable range previously approved in the environmental assessment: $9-23 for cars, motorcycles, and commercial vans; $12-65 for small trucks; and $12-82 for large trucks.

  2. “NYC Matzah Bakeries, Pizzerias Could Face New Emissions Regulations”

    Matzah bakeries in New York City that use wood or coal as fuel for their ovens could be facing an expensive new requirement to attach emissions-control devices to the equipment…

    Residents living in the Williamsburg neighborhood have complained for years about smoke wafting from a local matzah bakery run by Satmar Hasidim. The oven at the bakery is fueled by coal.

    Another Brooklyn matzah bakery, this one also allegedly run by Satmar Hasidim in the Bushwick neighborhood, also uses a coal-burning oven – and neighbors have complained this year about the smoke from that one as well. The bakery is not operating at present – it closed right after Pesach – but it’s expected to start up again to produce its handmade shmurah matzah sometime this winter, ahead of the Passover holiday.

    Maybe some Brooklyn matzah bakeries don’t like Satmar Hasidim or competition.
    Maybe it’s not nice to ask such a question…
