One month after Berkeley became the first city in America to ban natural gas  in new buildings, a second Bay Area city is poised to take a similarly ambitious plunge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by requiring cleaner, electric alternatives.

Menlo Park on Tuesday will consider phasing out natural gas through a multi-pronged attack: mandating that heating systems in all new homes and buildings must run on electricity, and that all new commercial, office and industrial buildings, as well as high-rise residences, must rely entirely on electricity.
