Berkeley, California, Mayor Jesse Arreguin has signed into law an ordinance passed by the City Council banning the use of natural gas in new housing construction starting Jan. 1.

The law exempts buildings in which the use of an all electric infrastructure is "not physically possible." Council member Kate Harrison, the primary author of the measure, said the next step is to “figure out how to incentivize people” in already existing housing to move away from natural gas use.
