Momentum is growing to ban “natural” gas hookups in new buildings and hopefully create equitable programs to convert existing buildings to all-electric. Hear from a panel of experts about new research on the health effects of gas appliances in homes, how to protect your family, and how to advocate for a just transition to all-electric homes in California and beyond.
Speakers:
Jessica Guadalupe Tovar, Local Clean Energy Alliance, fighting for equity in clean energy solutions to bring clean power to the people.
Emma Hines, RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings program, working on the climate, health, and air quality co-benefits of building electrification.
