San Francisco and Bay Area lead the way in banning gas appliances.
TL;DR Summary
San Francisco regulators have approved regulations banning the future sales of certain natural gas-powered appliances as part of the city's climate agenda. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has greenlit amendments to regulations related to eliminating nitrogen oxide emissions from natural gas furnaces and water heaters in the region, requiring all commercial and residential furnaces and water heaters to be electric by 2027. The action notably leaves out banning gas-powered stoves. Other Democratic-led cities have also recently moved forward with gas appliance bans of their own.
