As Washington DC’s gas company continues a 40-year project to replace methane pipes, clean energy advocates argue the projects are misguided and prefer alternatives for public health and the environment.  Claire Mills with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network says they are urging the Public Service Commission to create a plan that transitions the District to clean electricity, rather than doubling down on methane gas…

So in the long term, the real solution to this problem is moving the District off of methane gas through a managed transition that takes a serious approach."
