>Getting to CO2 net zero involves moving those applications entirely to non-fossil electricity. The necessary and sufficient condition for that is the cost of electric heating to consumer being lower than the cost of gas heating in both short and long term (i.e., a 5-year subsidy isn't it). This requires a significant reshaping of our electricity generation. Everything else is a band-aid on an axe wound. A federal tax on burning natural gas can make that shift happen, but will hit the poor people. Finally, again, you can't shift to non-fossil electricity because you don't get to choose which electricity you shift to. As is, you're just going to burn more gas in a different place. The benefits of this rearrangement aren't obvious to me.
