The \u201csurprise amendment\u201d is \u201cakin to voluntarily returning to lead paint or materials containing asbestos because they\u2019re cheaper to source, or declining to install fire escapes on buildings in order to save developers money,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Badelt said the rollback \u201cwould set us back\u2026 potentially tens of thousands of tonnes\u201d of carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n<p>ABC Councillor Brian Montague, who proposed the motion, said Vancouver will need a more diverse mix of energy sources in the event of electricity outages. \u201cMontague said hydro power is dependent on the snowpack and the recent drought has reduced the snowpack, causing BC Hydro to import electricity last year,\u201d the Sun writes. \u201cHowever, Montague failed to mention that B.C. also exports more energy to Alberta and California than it imports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an emailed statement to the Sun, Sim cast the rollback as an affordability measure, asserting that \u201callowing natural gas as an energy source offers a cost-effective option for heating and hot water, helping lower utility bills and contributing to overall housing affordability in Vancouver.\u201d Gas lobbyist Bill Tieleman, the former communications director to then-B.C. premier Glen Clark who now heads the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/10373551\/new-coalition-zero-carbon\/\">B.C. Coalition for Affordable Energy<\/a>, praised a \u201cwise decision\u201d that he said would offer consumers and builders more choice and provide \u201caffordable and dependable energy choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fry responded that oil would be cheaper than natural gas, but neither would help reduce emissions to fight climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe irony is that this decision not only takes us backwards in terms of meeting international climate goals, it undermines industry work and capacity to meet 2030 Clean B.C. and energy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theenergymix.com\/new-model-building-code-shows-steps-to-net-zero-ready-buildings-by-2030\/\">step code<\/a>\u00a0regulations,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s regressive on all counts, and does nothing to ease affordability for residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stand.earth\u2019s McDowell agreed that a return to gas heat won\u2019t cut costs for homeowners or occupants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeat pumps are far more efficient to operate than gas furnaces, and four years of data from Vancouver shows that building all-electric doesn\u2019t impact the sale price of a home for consumers,\u201d she said. \u201cAt a moment where local communities across the province are taking action to make buildings safer and affordable for residents by requiring electric heating and cooling, Vancouver is now moving completely out of step with the rest of the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This article was published by The Energy Mix on July 25, 2024.
