In a conversation recently, the person I was speaking with was alarmed because they heard that Colorado is phasing out Natural Gas and they were so upset. How can they do this?? Do we have to give up just our stoves or do we have to buy new furnaces too? Are they getting rid of propane too??
There's a lot more to this story than this statement!
'They' are not getting rid of either.
The new rules are not aimed at homeowners. They are requirements for the utilities. The utilities will be the ones planning internal changes and consumer and business incentives to both limit harmful methane leaks and convince people to switch to electric appliances. Utilities will still be delivering natural gas to consumers, but they must now start taking concrete steps toward gradually reducing use and emissions.
People have a lot of questions and the Colorado Sun recently had an article with more information. Read the article here:
