No one ever figures in the cost of medical care from breathing low-grade gas fumes for years. Or the occasional spontaneous house explosion.
When you add up all the things we're "supposed" to be doing for one reason or another it's a pretty large cumulative burden.
And for people who must have their gas appliances, there are always portable units/generators. They can use those.
I have been doing most of my cooking on a gas hob for 5 years now. Could you share more detail on this point?
I feel the need to be scared today (it is Halloween after all).
