Subject:Gas ban
I would like to voice my concern as a slo resident/plumber about the ban on natural gas. Much of the info surrounding
natural gas is misguided and uninformed. Natural gas is cheap & available, whereas electric is expensive and largely
created with NON RENEWABLE methods to begin with. In a time that we are closing our power plant and purchasing
energy from other states to outsource our carbon footprint, is this really an answer or just a pat on our own back with
no real environmental impact. Please reconsider this initiative until our grid can be proven to 1.)support all electric
households without rolling blackouts 2.) prove our power is 100% renewable and 3.) provide cheaper electric than gas
because power is already outrageous.
