Battle over natural gas role in climate change boils over in America’s home kitchens Published February 23
Share on Facebook A new front has opened in the battle over climate change: The kitchen. Cities and towns across the country are rewriting local building codes so that new homes and offices would be blocked from using natural gas, a fossil fuel that when burned emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. New laws would force builders to install heat pumps instead of gas furnaces and electric kitchen stoves instead of gas burners. Local leaders say reducing the carbon and methane pollution associated with buildings, the source of 12.3% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, is the only way they can meet their 2050 zero-emission goals to curb climate change.
