We hope the Ontario government will listen and back away from its plan to legislate against this decision. The OEB was aiming to reduce costs for existing gas users and reduce costs for new home buyers since they would be more likely to end up with a heat pump instead of a gas furnace, which would be cheaper to operate.

One way of getting a handle on the amount of harm, though, is to assume that if Bush had kept his promise, emissions during his presidency would have declined as much as they did under his successor Obama. Some of those changes, like cheaper natural gas due to greater use of fracking, helped emissions decline under Obama.
