County Supervisors from Fresno, Kings, Kern and Tulare counties, along with the BizFed Central Valley Business Federation, Californians for Balanced Energy Solutions(C4BES) and SoCalGasleadership, will lead a press conference-style briefing for regional media and stakeholders. In response to state government agencies’ efforts to end natural gas use in homes and businesses, speakers will discuss using a variety of energy solutions, including renewable natural gas,to more affordably reduce carbon emissions. Speakers will bring to light how state agencies are working to stop the use of natural gas in homes and commercial buildings, the need for diversified energy sources in the SJV, and the importance of local control in determining how to address climate change.  

Recent research shows the use of renewable natural gas would have the same environmental benefits as mandating 100% all-electric homes and businesses and is 2-3 times less expensive. Nine out of 10 Central and Southern Californians use natural gas in their homes, and polls show that 2/3 of California voters oppose eliminating natural gas in the state.

Kings, Kern and Tulare counties have all passed resolutions that advocate for residents’ right to choose between electric or gas for their energy needs.
