"This rule is all about clean air, and it's important that the sooner we pass it, the sooner that we're going to see the benefits of that cleaner air as people transition to zero-emissions, non-polluting appliances in their homes, said Tony Sirna, Evergreen Action Deputy Policy Director, Buildings."
The Bay Area Air District is considering flexibility in its rule requiring electric water heaters and furnaces by 2027-2031 to reduce nitrogen oxide pollution, affecting residents in multiple counties.
