Berkeley’s City Attorney is turning up the heat on its natural gas ban. Farimah Brown filed a petition arguing that cities can mandate such prohibitions.

Last week, Berkeley’s city attorney filed a petition against an April ruling that cities do not have the authority to prohibit natural gas hookups from being installed in new buildings, as the Bay Area News Group first reported.

These rules aim to reduce emissions generated by natural gas appliances, most notably nitrogen oxides, or NOx. In Berkley, the ban resulted in a lawsuit from the California Restaurant Association. Ultimately, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit sided with the restaurants over the issue in April.
