City Walks Back Electrification (No Natural Gas) Code Changes

What’s happening? Miami was one of the cities that saw its council move away from new building codes that would electrify new building and prohibit natural gas lines. The move was to support the city’s long term goal of net zero carbon emissions.

Why is this important? Miami is now walking back that change after the local gas utility said it was problematic for the industry.

How will this be important? The city will instead focus on carbon capture at landfills and waste water facilities as well as a switch to hydrogen for fuel.
