Serious Question:
For those who align themselves as left or liberal or democrat. Trying not to use labels that some find offensive).
Do you support the current movement to abolish natural gas appliances?? If so, what criteria or sources do you use to justify it?
t. Grew up in an all-gas appliance household. Single story ranch, no basement. Mother cooked almost every day. Six people in the house; hot water was scarce due to the amount of dishwashing and showers. Gas furnace ran all winter long (cold state).
Not one instance of even mild asthma among any family member. Whole neighborhood was like that. First time I even saw an inhaler was after high school.
I am just trying to figure out where this anti-LNG movement is coming from.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to speak up.
I've tried to figure out how this became a political issue and all I can come up with is one side is pro burning fossil fuels/coal/gas and the other side isn't.
If there's something in my home that's been secretly poisoning me since birth, yeah, let's figure out a solution.
If this is just the latest in a never ending cycle of fear and outrage flavored distractions, then let's collectively shut the fuck up about it.
I don't have enough information to make a decision either way so this would be a story I would consider to be barely on my radar.
However, we know that breathing/ingesting these substances is toxic to humans, its safe to say the same is true if you burn them first. So I can see how there might be a nugget of truth here.
