• PG&E supports all -electric new construction. Here is a copy of their letter of support <br />for all -electric new construction to the City of Morgan Hill, which just passed a gas ban <br />last week. They offered to show up at city council meetings to answer questions and <br />voice support. <br />Eliminating indoor combustion improves indoor air quality for residents. Buildings <br />with gas in California release more smog indoors than all gas power plants, which <br />impacts the health of our families and pets. Removing combustion indoors by moving to <br />all -electric eliminates the release of toxic gases and the need for CO detectors, improving <br />public health. <br />Redwood City will fall behind if it does not take a stronger position. In our region, <br />San Jose, Berkeley, Menlo Park, Mountain View, and Morgan Hill have already banned <br />gas or strongly favored all -electric new construction in the ordinances they've <br />adopted. Here's a list of active local government efforts to decarbonize buildings. Several <br />other local jurisdictions will be considering eliminating gas in the coming weeks. <br />Redwood City will be an outlier and fall behind in the region if it does not adopt a <br />stronger position. <br />Rarely will you have the opportunity to help your community save money and the planet, not to <br />mention materially improve community resiliency and public health. That is the fortunate <br />position you are in now. For the sake of your children and future generations, do not waste this <br />opportunity. <br />Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to seeing you at the council meeting <br />tomorrow. <br />Best regards, <br />
