Do you have numbers on people in the northeastern US using coal stoves for heating? I'm not necessarily doubting you, but I lived in New Hampshire for a long time and still go back regularly to see family and friends, and I don't think I've ever seen a coal stove. IME most houses use either natural gas or wood pellet stoves for heating. Which aren't ideal but they're leaps and bounds better than coal.
- jcranmer 7y agoI did some searching, and it appears that the number of households using coal stoves is roughly 130,000 (a far, far cry from the "millions of home" cited in OP). https://forgreenheat.blogspot.com/2017/06/trends-in-heating-with-coal-in-united.html https://forgreenheat.blogspot.com/2017/06/trends-in-heating-... is the link that seems to have the most detailed information.
