October 28, 2019, Work Session – Item 3 <br /> <br />Business Impacts <br /> Concerned that commercial accounts are not feasible to convert—it may lead to <br />increase in costs at restaurants. <br />Transitioning from Gas to Electricity <br /> Consumers are price sensitive; they want cleaner sources of energy until the <br />price becomes too high. <br /> Keeping gas stoves is not a priority; people are willing to switch to electricity. <br /> Renters do not have control over efficiency or electricity source. <br /> Education would be more beneficial than raising prices. <br /> Converting to natural gas is expensive; financial assistance in the form of grants <br />or no interest loans would be necessary. Include incentives for rentals as well. <br />Policy Suggestions <br /> Target policies to focus on the largest consumers of natural gas. <br /> City should work towards policies that incentivize more efficient homes. <br /> Require all new developments to be natural gas free and limit new natural gas <br />infrastructure. <br />Other Concerns <br /> Hydro is “clean” but dams are destructive. Impact with dams is also felt in <br />communities of color, tribes, and rural communities. Be aware of trade-offs. <br /> There is a danger of disasters from natural gas in communities. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
