Chicago has already started on the transition toward all-electric homes and away from the gas system (“Go electric in new Chicago buildings, and nix gas stoves and heat” — Oct. 3).
Locally, the Chicago Climate Action Plan calls for 30% of residential buildings to be off the gas system by 2035. Federally, the Inflation Reduction Act included $8.8 billion in rebates for home energy efficiency and electrification projects. That’s great: all-electric homes are more affordable, healthier and reduce harmful climate emissions.
