"San Francisco Bans Natural Gas In New Buildings" [1]

"SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has voted to ban natural gas in new buildings starting in 2021.

The ordinance passed this month requires new construction to utilize only electric power.

San Francisco follows another Bay Area city Berkeley, which was actually the first in California to ban natural gas in new buildings.

Berkeley’s ban goes into effect in Jan. 2021."
