Fortunately, I don’t have COPD and I didn’t contract asthma when I was young, perhaps partly because I grew up in a home with an electric range. The study concluded that these childhood asthma cases could have theoretically been prevented by using electric appliances. But other Washingtonians may not be as lucky.

In Ontario, fossil gas is used primarily for generating electricity, for heating buildings (residential and commercial), and for industrial uses (for heating substances and as a raw material). In fact, Ontario is planning to build new gas plants and extend expiring gas plant contracts to produce electricity. It is none of those things.
