Y'all, hundreds of people die every year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning, and tens of thousands are hospitalized annually. Weird Al Yankovic lost his elderly parents to CO poisoning in April 2004. It's winter time and Santa Fe is at 7,000 ft (2130 m) of elevation. Please don't rush to blame and conspiracy.
Can we stop piping natural gas into our homes pls k thx
Gas is nice for some things, but for heating a brand new heat pump is best.
Actually, the one thing that gas is good for is cooking, but induction is far better. So yeah. No real need for gas to the home.
Only if your kitchen is adequately vented, but most that I've seen are not.
A modern gas furnace or water heater will have a flue, and if the system has been installed properly then exhaust gasses, including CO, will get sucked out of the house.
Most gas ovens/ranges are unvented - they just spew combustion products, including CO, directly into the home. Its so bad that the 1st generation of CO detectors had to be retired because they were constantly going off when people would cook dinner. Modern CO detectors will only go off if CO levels remain elevated for hours.
Cooking with gas in a home that lacks a large hood fan that's ducted to the outdoors is a terrible idea.
