Last week , a federal judge dismissed a New York City ban on natural gas in new buildings.
The decision is the first to explicitly disagree with a previous ruling that struck down Berkeley , California 's first -in-the-nation gas ban.
Legal experts say this month 's decision provides strong legal footing for all types of local policies to phase out gas in buildings.
The Southern District of New York agreed with the 9th Circuit dissent's interpretation of EPCA .
The ruling bolsters all types of electrification policies, including those modeled after Berkeley .
The trade groups behind the lawsuit have said they will appeal the decision.
Legal challenges using the same arguments have been launched against New York's statewide building code and electrification.
