The panel will also discuss why building electrification is needed to mitigate the climate crisis, and the effects that burning natural gas in buildings has on our health and the health of our families. In addition, panelists will lay out what is required to ensure that this necessary conversion from burning fossil fuels in our buildings to using all electric energy, is a just and equitable transition for everyone.
