Rewiring America: What Can YOU Do?
What Can YOU Do to Protect Your Health?
If you have a gas stove, it is important to always use the vent when cooking. It also helps to use the back burners since they send more gas into the ventilation system than the front burners.
How Can You Help Rewire America?
Assess your home for gas appliances you can replace with electric when it comes time to replace them. (Generally, it is best to replace items at the end of their useful lifetimes.)
YOU Can:
Support installation of electric vehicle charging stations.
(This is happening! Thank Redding City Council through cityclerk@cityofredding.org.)
Support clean energy development to replace fossil fuel infrastructure.
In Redding, see https://www.cityofredding.org/departments/redding-electric-utility/reu-pages/reu-s-resource-portfolio. Ask the Redding City Council through cityclerk@cityofredding.org to replace the 25% natural gas in Redding's energy portfolio with solar, wind, or other non-carbon based energy.
In Shasta County, contact the Board of Supervisors through shastacountybos@co.shasta.ca.us to support:
favorable consideration of wind and solar projects on a case by case basis,
building/development codes that promote installing electric and replacing fossil fuel appliances.
