Two of the Bay Area’s largest cities — San Jose and Oakland — this week banned natural gas from nearly all new construction, pushing all-electric infrastructure as their latest tool to fight climate change.
In doing so, San Jose made history by becoming the largest U.S. city so far to take that leap, although more than three dozen smaller cities across the nation had already done so. Berkeley became the first city in the country to prohibit natural gas when it passed an ordinance in the summer of 2019, and San Francisco recently followed suit.
