Restaurant owners argued city bypassed federal energy regulations when it approved the pro-environment ordinance.
A federal appeals court on Monday overturned Berkeley, California's first-in-the-nation ban on natural gas in new construction, agreeing with restaurant owners who argued the city bypassed federal energy regulations when it approved the ordinance.
A lawsuit by the California Restaurant Association claimed the regulation violated federal law that gives the U.S. government authority to set energy-efficiency standards for appliances such as stoves, furnaces and water heaters. Jot Condie, president of the restaurant association, hailed the decision. Berkeley's ban was"an overreaching measure beyond the scope of any city," he said in a statement.
