#1 saw a segment on The Five last week about this. Insanity. Natural gas is clean energy. Cheaper and more efficient heat than electricity.

#3 Not to worry. There will be no additional electric generating capacity built, and no nasty high-tension lines to bring power from other places either. Which is just as well, as there is no new capacity being built anywhere in the blue, NIMBY northeast.

#6 You know how Germany now gets most of their power from Russia, and how California gets all their power from neighboring states.

If the US really divides the blue states are gonna be totally dependent on the red states for power (and food).

#7 Discouraging natural gas heating in a dense urban setting has reasons (fire control), but doing so while discouraging new dependable local all-weather electrical production (*cough* nukes *cough*) is madness.
