☆ Tesla is sued over air pollution from factory operations in Fremont, California
  + stars: | 2024-05-14 | by ( Lora Kolodny | In Lorakolodny | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Tesla is being sued by the nonprofit Environmental Democracy Project, which alleges "ongoing failure to comply with the Clean Air Act" at the electric vehicle company's assembly plant in Fremont, California. The latest lawsuit in California described Tesla's environmental violations as "ongoing" and said that residents and employees in the surrounding area have been exposed to "excess amounts of air pollution, including nitrogen oxides, arsenic, cadmium, and other harmful chemicals." The Bay Area Air Quality Management District, an environmental regulator, recently accused Tesla of allowing "unabated emissions" in Fremont that should have been prevented. Air pollution from the assembly plant is the result of equipment that frequently breaks down, allowing emissions to vent directly into the air without proper filtration, regulators have said. Additionally, Tesla employees or contractors have allegedly shut off air pollution controls in the factory, particularly when the company was having trouble with other paint shop equipment.

☆ San Francisco Bay area to phase out natural gas heating appliances
  + stars: | 2023-03-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
REUTERS/Carlos BarriaMarch 16 (Reuters) - The San Francisco Bay area will phase out natural gas-powered furnaces and water heaters beginning in 2027 to improve local air quality and public health. It is the latest move by local officials in the United States to eliminate natural gas, a fossil fuel, from heating homes and buildings. Eliminating natural gas appliances would mean transitioning to electric equipment such as heat pumps. Currently about two thirds of Bay Area households use natural gas appliances, according to the regulator. They will apply to water heaters in single-family homes in 2027, furnaces in 2029, and multifamily and commercial water heaters in 2031.
