“… I think Savannah’s message is especially persuasive–the city is on the front lines—already experiencing climate change challenges. It is outrageous the general assembly is trying to mess with Savannah’s best efforts to adapt [to the effects of climate change] by requiring gas connections for the foreseeable future.
