摘要

When one California marketer received word late last year that local leaders were considering a gas ban on new residential and commercial building construction projects,he went to work-by presenting the benefits of propane to the city council.Talk in the Northern California city of Areata centered on banning the use of natural gas in 2025,says Ben Mc-Whorter,part owner of Sequoia Gas,with offices in Areata and Fortuna.With reach codes-local building energy codes that extendbeyond state minimum requirements-targeting natural gas and propane in favor of electricity in some California cities,McWhorter couldn't stand idle and watch potentially new regulations zap the lifeblood from his family's third-generation business.
