Think ahead

A federal agency is considering a ban on gas cooking stoves to improve indoor air quality. The amount of gas burned for cooking is less than one percent of the amount used to heat the home. Is this the first step in getting rid of natural gas for home heating. Will many homes then use electric power which is produced by burning coal in the local power plant. Will there be unintended consequences. The city of Minneapolis banned any future drive through restaurants because people were contaminating the air while having their engines run while waiting in line and when the Covid hit the only safe restaurants were the fast food places. Some years ago the government decreed that new toilets must used only one gallon per flush and people found out that didn't do the job so they flushed twice. The point is does anyone think ahead when making such decisions.
