Dear SLO City Mayor and Council Members,
According to the Sierra Club, "The results of the Clean Energy Choice Program have been clear: To accomplish its
goals for emissions reduction, the city must mandate 100% all-electric buildings.
Electrification is also a core affordability and public health strategy. It:
Lowers the average household energy bill by $4,000–$10,000 over 20 years;
Reduces the cost of single-family home construction by $6,000, and the cost of multifamily apartment
building construction by roughly $1,500 per unit;
Creates new jobs in construction, HVAC installation, electrical work, energy efficiency, and load-
management services;
Improves public health by reducing combustion pollution that causes asthma and respiratory diseases; and,
Makes our communities safer by eliminating the risk of fires and explosions caused by gas leaks,
particularly after earthquakes."
Please do the right thing. Thank you.
Best regards,
Scott H Jenkins
