Subject:City of SLO Natural Gas Ban - No on Natural Gas Ban
Dear SLO City Council,
I urge you not to ban use of natural gas in City of San Luis Obispo, because of the following:
1- Natural gas is a lower cost option so you will restrict the lower income families from this valuable energy
resource. This is even more critical as we now live with COVID-19.
2- Natural gas is always available. What do we do when the lights go out?
3- Natural gas is a more efficient heating system than electrical current for all applications.
4- It is possible that natural gas also plays a major role in other hybrid energy resources to come on line in the
future. Natural gas importance to increase and not to decrease.
5- Already we are facing electricity rate schedule during 24 hours of day in SLO. We dont have such restrictions
on natural gas.
Respectfully submitted,
Mason Medizade,
Emeritus Professor
