Evanston council members will soon consider a proposed ban that is reigniting the age-old debate – gas or electric.
The city of Evanston is considering banning gas hookups in new buildings and homes.council members will soon consider a proposed ban that is reigniting the age-old debate – gas or electric.
While council members say this has been on the city's radar for years, the discussion is heating back up after an official with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said recently that "any option is on the table" when it comes to regulating gas stoves.According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 38 percent of American households use natural gas for cooking.
"This is looking specifically at new developments and banning natural gas. Now, down the road, we will have to work on existing natural gas ranges and natural gas connections, but that’s going to take quite a bit of financing especially because Evanston is a city that’s committed to equity and we have a large low-income population and we want to make sure we’re providing funds for that," said Reid.
