City Bans Gas Stoves

Oakland, CA has banned gas stoves in new homes, restaurant and shop buildings, and offices.

Why? According to Oakland’s Building Department “substituting natural gas with electricity is one of the quickest, safest, and least expensive pathways to eliminating [greenhouse gas] emissions from buildings”

By 2030, Oakland’s new Equitable Climate Action Plan calls for a citywide switch to electric construction
