Couldn't they just cut off the gas and switch to electric once the power plants are clean(-enough)?

- dml2135 5y agoNo, you need to transition over time. Your idea is to just cut off the gas one day, and expect everyone to go out and buy new appliances at the same time? I don’t think I need to explain why phasing in such a change is preferable.
- vladvasiliu 5y agoI don't expect to just cut it off all of a sudden. They could announce the cut some years in advance. Of course, if right now they already expect to cut off the gas a few years from now, they may as well not build new pipes.
