The time is right, said Denver City Councilman Jolon Clark, who supports a total electrification option. Climate change is worsening across the world, Denver’s air quality remains poor and natural gas prices are on the rise.
Denver is already phasing out natural gas appliances– both new and old – but so far there is no similar movement for single-family homes and residences.
Clark said city officials will also consider ways to phase out gas appliances as an alternative to an outright ban. The revelation drove environmentalists to urge the banning of gas stoves while far-right voices like U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, rushed to their defense, tweeting “God. Guns. Gas stoves.”He asked city staff to bring the information they have to a council committee meeting on Feb. 6 where they’ll discuss the city’s options for reducing the use of natural gas.
