Subject:I support the proposed reach codes
Dear City Council Members,
I urge you to support the proposed reach codes.
There are many clear and compelling reason to move toward all electric homes. First and foremost is reducing our
greenhouse gas emissions. As you know, burning fossil fuels such as natural gas (methane) create emissions like carbon
dioxide that are a primary cause of global warming. Some have argued that the city of SLO cannot make a significant
difference, but in my work around national nonprofit advocacy I have clearly seen the value in leadership and early
adopters showing the way for others to follow.
There are many other reasons including likely increases in natural gas prices, safety issues around piping and
maintaining natural gas infrastructure and indoor air quality issues around burning natural gas in stoves.
For all of these reasons, I encourage you to support the proposed reach codes.
