Subject: Propsed ban on Natrual Gas
TO: San Luis City Council
I am reaching out to ask your Council to reconsider the proposed ban on Natural Gas. The Hearth Industry (HPBA) has
worked very closely with the EPA to meet or exceed efficiency standards for natural gas burning appliances. Gas fired
fireplaces provide clean and affordable heat. While we all care for the environment and the communities we live in, we
also feel that a blend of clean energy sources is the most balanced approach for the environment and the people of the
community. Forcing consumers to rely on one energy source for their home heating needs leads to increased costs to
keep ones family warm. Gas fireplaces provide heat in a power outage and require no electricity to run therefore
providing clean and efficient heat source but also reliable heat in times of natural disasters or rolling power
1
outages. PG&E has just worked with the state to pass a law that allows the utility to turn off the power to any
community if it deems it necessary for safety etc.; a gas fireplace would provide heat in such a time. Your consideration
on this matter is greatly appreciated.
