I don’t understand the reasoning for natural gas being considered a “no-no” — I’ve always thought it was clean burning, efficient and relatively abundant in the US.

We currently have a natural gas-supplied home. We cannot afford to get all new appliances & a new HVAC & water heating system — plus it would be unsafe to configure all those over to electric with the OLD & already stretched to the limit wiring system in our home.

Solar/Wind is not a viable or even an available option in our area.

I simply do not understand these idiot politicians & “activists”. Are we supposed to freeze, or risk losing our home because we can not pay both mortgage and these insane bills? We now have my daughter & family living here because they cannot afford a home or apartment at this point, so I guess we let the grand-kids freeze too??

As I read here a few weeks back ... if these “green” systems & vehicles were so wonderful, they would not have to FORCE people to utilize them ... & there’s no sparkle-fart unicorns out there supplying magical electricity, either!

Not looking forward to Biden in a sweater lecturing us about “malaise” and doing our “fair share” UGH!

Residential natural gas burners produce a small amount of Nitrogen oxides during combustion which convert to ground-level ozone.

The government has set low limits for ground-level ozone. Suddenly, natural gas is evil because of ozone.

It is supremely, utterly ridiculous and insane to kill NG when there are virtually NO alternatives.
