Dear San Luis Obispo City Councilmembers,
I’m writing this evening regarding the Council’s planned Feb. 1, 2022 review of the City’s Clean Energy Choice Program
for New Buildings.
I urge the council to support City staff’s recommendation, and discontinue allowing the installation of natural gas
infrastructure in new buildings within the City of San Luis Obispo.
It’s a curious fact that the world’s wealthiest nation is also its most ignorant when it comes to acting on crises that every
other country on Earth takes seriously.
Despite horrendous wildfire seasons, record-breaking hurricanes, increasing coastal inundation and much more, the
grave effects of global climate change – both present and future – apparently have not yet sunk in with a majority of the
general public or, specifically in this case, with much of the developer and general contracting community operating in
San Luis Obispo.
In recent years San Luis Obispo has been a State and national leader in addressing the unfolding catastrophe that is
climate change. Please don’t let this advantage slip away; do not falter in your resolve at this critical hour. The stakes are
too high to allow ignorance and greed to rule the day at the expense of future generations. Business as usual is no
longer rational nor acceptable.
Please lend your full support to staff’s recommendation of doing away with natural gas in new buildings in the City of
SLO.
Sincerely,
Christopher Hamma
Arroyo Grande
