Wonderful news! This past week, more than 1,300 supporters asked Vancouver city council to uphold the ban on fossil fuel space and water heating in new homes. Councillors listened! Despite sustained pressure from fossil fuel lobbyists, city council voted to keep this important ban. It’s time for governments at all levels to prioritize people’s interests over those of oil and gas companies — from municipal bylaws about gas in buildings to LNG development. Electrification opens the path to an affordable, prosperous and sustainable future
