That whole post was wild. As it was “It’s weird that this is suddenly a thing.. :thinking-about-it: “ followed by people who apparently always hate gas and stovetops with barely any mention of furnaces or hot water heating.
The furnaces and hot water heating are the main problem. Gas companies convinced people that gas stoves are better and they want them. And if you already have a gas stove you might as well use gas for your furnace and water heater too. And that increases gas use, more money for gas companies, more carbon for the air.

I’d have died several times in winter if we were electric only heating in the northern US.
Gas infra is good (and expensive) because it's underground. Electric could be as good.
