Gas is at risk in Kansas City!

                                          CALL-TO-ACTION

 
WHEN:
Wednesday, August 24 (tentatively)
9:00 AM CT
 
WHERE:
Kansas City City Hall -
26th Floor, Council Chamber
414 E. 12th Street
Kansas City, MO 64106

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
Make a public comment on how eliminating natural gas affects you, your business, and your customers.
- or -
Help us fill the room with opposition. Attend the meeting to show support for industry members commenting against the CPRP.

The final draft of the Kansas City Climate Protection and Resiliency Plan (CPRP) will establish an Equitable Building Decarbonization Program to update existing building heating, water heating, and cooking systems to run on electricity instead of natural gas. It will also require all new city buildings to be all-electric and to electrify existing city buildings. It is only a matter of time before they want homes changed, too.
 
Members…it is crucial that the KC City Council hears from you as to why eliminating natural gas affects your customers and your business!
 
There is a committee hearing scheduled for this Wednesday at 9 AM. While an agenda for this hearing has not yet been released (which is by design to keep the crowd small) we have received word from the America Gas Association that this topic will be on the agenda.


To send in written comments:  Those who wish to comment on proposed ordinances can email written testimony to public.testimony@kcmo.org. Comments received will be distributed to the committee and added to the public record by the clerk.
