Natural gas is mostly methane. Very little methane actually enters the atmosphere since it burns. The more efficient a furnace is ,the less you have released. Some furnaces are close to 100% efficient.

'Clean energy mandate.' I don't recall where the voters were asked if they wanted this. How can it be a mandate? Also, how is it that all of this clean energy is clean? Is everything used to produce this clean energy itself produced using clean energy? Are the solar panels, wind turbines and electric batteries environmentally friendly when they need to be replaced/decommissioned? If not, how is it "clean" when more pollution is created to produce and dispose of the things that make so-called "clean energy."
