"A group of California neighbors is working to eliminate gas-powered appliances, which create harmful air pollution inside homes. The group, the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) Action, formed after residents found out about the risks to public health created by indoor gas appliances.
As Twilight Greenaway explains in Inside Climate News, the movement for “neighborhood-scale” or zonal decarbonization seeks to eliminate gas lines in favor of electrifying homes. The idea has support from Pacific Gas & Electric, a Northern California utility, which says it is willing to “spend a portion of the money it would otherwise use to maintain gas lines to help electrify the homes in the neighborhood that will no longer use the gas.”"
