'This is the first state to do it,' says leahstokes as California moves to ban gas-powered heaters and furnaces by 2030. 'Who's next?'
"We need to take every action we can to deliver on our commitments to protect public health from the adverse impacts of air pollution, and this strategy identifies how we can do just that," CARB Chair Liane Randolphin a statement."While this strategy will clean the air for all Californians, it will also lead to reduced emissions in the many low-income and disadvantaged communities that experience greater levels of persistent air pollution.
"But to truly meet the ozone standard, California needs more federal action to clean up harmful diesel pollution from primarily federally controlled sources, from locomotives and ocean-going vessels to aircraft, which are all concentrated in communities that continue to bear the brunt of poor air quality," Randolph added."We simply cannot provide clean air to Californians without the federal government doing its part.
"Together furnaces and water heaters typically that run on gas account for 90% of gas use in the average California household," Prescott."So just eliminating these two sources of pollution is going to be a big win for our air quality and our health as well as for addressing climate change." "I do think a lot more states are going to be following in California's footsteps and looking at this as an opportunity to reduce the pollution in our homes and businesses," she added.
