Comment |
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Having been a clean-air activist for the past two years, I am delighted to hear that the Board is considering a regulation requiring that "100 percent of sales of new space and water heaters meet a zero-emission standard by 2030", as these appliances are significant sources of both climate and criteria-air pollutants. I also respectfully request that the Board and/or its staff consider expanding the proposed rule to prohibit the sale and installation of wood-burning appliances as well, including outdoor/recreational devices such as manufactured fire pits, burn barrels, chimineas, and smokers. Air pollution is something that we must not compromise on, and so we need to do everything we can to make it as cleaner as possible. Building electrification is a key stepping stone on that path. Thank you again and take care. |
