The full cost of fracked methane gas is not actually included in the price.
I'm not just talking about the environmental cost: gas consumption and production is subsidized by tax dollars, and the health costs are poorly quantified but my understanding is a growing body of evidence links gas usage in the home to childhood asthma and other chronic health issues.
- dev_tty01 4y agoThe asthma issue is with gas stoves. It is irrelevant with respect to a proper gas furnace. None of the exhaust from a modern furnace enters the home air supply. By the way, if you are going to consider environmental costs for gas you should also consider those costs for electric.
