New buildings' stoves and furnaces would use electricity generated partly from burning natural gas and other fossil fuels, but backers say the change still would keep millions of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere over time. Heating, cooling and powering buildings accounts for nearly 70% of the city's emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. Supporters say it's a substantial and necessary move to combat global warming.
Hospitals, commercial kitchens and some other facilities would be exempt. Some smaller buildings would have to comply as early as 2024. If Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio signs the measure, as expected, most construction projects submitted for approval after 2027 would have to use something other than gas or oil - such as electricity - for heating, hot water and cooking.

Other popular attractions within and near Downtown include the State Capitol Building, Myriad Botanical Gardens, and the memorable SkyDance Pedestrian Bridge which is beautifully lit up at night. The city has no shortage of sports between the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Bricktown Ballpark, Chesapeake Energy Arena, and even events held at the Cox Convention Center. The Devon Energy Center is obviously a large staple of the Oklahoma City skyline being the tallest building in the city by a significant margin.
It is famous for its historic district Bricktown which offers nightlife along the Bricktown Canal, a Water Taxi to get around, as well as a popular Riverwalk for locals and visitors alike. Oklahoma City is Oklahoma’s largest metropolitan area with a population just under 1.5 million and is the capital of the state.
