SoCal regulators vote today on phase-out plan of gas-powered appliances

Southern California air regulators are voting today on two proposed regulations to curb smog and lessen pollution that’s heating up the planet. For nearly two years, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which regulates air quality across much of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, has been working to update rules to phase out gas furnaces and water heaters. A recent data analysis by climate think tank Rocky Mountain Institute found that gas-burning equipment in homes and businesses in Greater L.A. produces seven times more smog-forming pollution than the region’s power plants. Environmental advocates say the rules have been watered down significantly and should be stricter, while the gas industry and its partners say the rules will strain the power grid and raise costs for consumers. Today on AirTalk, LAist climate and environment reporter Erin Stone, deputy managing attorney and director of the Right To Zero campaign at Earthjustice Adrian Martinez, and President of the Los Angeles County Business Federation, David Englin, join Larry to discuss the differing arguments in play around these rules. With files from LAist.
