This. I'm afraid too, being in NY, with a potential looming threat that wood burning might be banned some day down the line[1]. My entire house relies on wood pellet heating for a majority of the living area, and as I rent, this isn't a tenable option to just "give up". Sure, my landlord would have to adapt, but this is a ridiculous thing.
The NYC natural gas ban is equally silly when you realize that most of the power is coming from natural gas powerplants - so we're just shifting the point of use of gas back to the power grid itself while sticking consumers with ineffective electric equipment (since natural gas appliances are cheap -- fancy electric heat pumps etc are not.)
