An ordinance to be introduced Wednesday in Chicago’s City Council would raise emissions standards and require new buildings to go electric. That means stoves, water heaters and furnaces that run on gas would no longer be part of the architecture of most new buildings in Chicago if a new proposal passes in City Council. Reset talks with advocates for the legislation, Sarah Moskowitz of the Citizens Utility Board and 49th Ward Alderwoman Maria Hadden about the benefits of such a move, as well as the concerns that groups like Peoples Gas and the American Gas Association have about the proposed changes.
