Gas Stoves and Possible Permitting Issues: Interview with JoanFromLakewood
Joan From Lakewood brings attention to gas stoves and possible changes in Lakewood in this video interview.
Joan highlights state and federal laws that impact us and shows how other localities are reversing gas stove bans.
Joan also talks about permitting issues she has seen on Nextdoor wherein businesses are having trouble getting their permits.
*Joan wishes to correct her video statement regarding copper – she meant cobalt, mined in the Congo with negative health effects.
Background: The Sustainability Committee of the Lakewood Advisory Commission received approval to research “green remodeling” during the July 10, 2023 Lakewood City Council meeting.
Project Proposal Regarding Green Remodeling: “To identify and research possible policies and actions by the City to expedite “green renovation” in Lakewood’s residential buildings, for example through benchmarking of electrification; legislation; leveraging state and federal funds; and code enhancement to the existing Article 13, Renewable Energy Mitigation Program (REMP) and the Enhanced Development Menu (EDM).”
Since this project has just been approved, there are no current results so that status of any recommendations, including gas stoves, is unknown.
See “Lakewood Advisory Commission Adds Grassroots Leadership” for background on these grassroots projects that do not originate from City Council proposals.
