US Cities Seeking to Ban Natural Gas in New Buildings Just Got a Big Win in Court
83% Informative
Last week , a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against 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.
Experts say the 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 decision could help reassure some states and cities that withdrew electrification plans after the Berkeley case.
The trade groups behind the lawsuit have said they will appeal the decision.
