New buildings in #AnnArbor will not be allowed to install #naturalgas connections. That’s if a proposal from the city’s planning commission is approved.
By requiring new buildings to only have electric items, like appliances and #heating systems, the planning commission believes it will help the City of Ann Arbor reach its goal of #a2zero #carbonneutrality by 2030.

My initial reaction was, “that will just export the pollution to the generating plant.”. I suspect that a coal burning plant generates less total carbon than thousands of individual gas burning devices, though. A quick Google search didn’t turn up any way to quantify that, though.
Thanks for sharing the article!
