    If that’s right, you don’t need to ban gas cooking, just ban residential heating and let the market take care of it.

    Y’all just want to tear shit down to pat yourselves on the back.

      Definitely could do it that way. But everybody is better off if we do it in a planned way instead of leaving people to deal with that kind of a mess.

          Two options right now:

          1. Run new electrical lines to them capable of providing for their actual needs
          2. Propane

            Propane doesn’t offer the benefits you seem to think it does. It’s more expensive and the distribution system for it likely has as many issues as the natural gas does. Going after natural gas distribution while we still have larger and more significant sources of emissions is a minuscule bandage solution at best. At worst it solves a very minor source of emissions problems at a major cost in both money and convenience.

              Those commercial and residential emissions - those are largely about the fuels burned in buildings. 14% of the total is enough to matter — and when we’re running out of time to get emissions to zero, we need to cut it all to zero, not pick and choose.
