1. There was recently a statement released by a member of the Consumer Product Safety Commission saying they were considering regulating indoor pollution from natural gas stoves. This lead to a bunch of outrage and claims that Natural Gas was going to be banned at a Federal level. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/01/11/gas-stoves-fossil-fuels-climate/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/01/1...

Because of these recent controversies there has been much talk about Heat Pumps and whether or not they are able to function efficiently or sufficiently in sub zero temperatures regularly seen in the upper Midwest or North East.
