Why target gas heat at this point? Is Ontario already clean in every other way? I guess they must already have power at least as clean as burning gas, or switching homes away from gas would be premature and initially counter productive. Gas heat is fairly efficient (generally efficiency losses are to heat, but not a problem here as heat is the objective). Personally, gas heat for residential homes and gas for cooking are some of the very last things I would look at changing.
I currently have a gas cooktop, gas water heater, and gas heat. However, since electricity is 85% coal in my area, I'm guessing using gas for these is, for the moment, better than using electricity. When that changes, I could give up the gas heat and gas water heat, but I'd really hate to give up the gas cooktop. I hope that when emissions are reduced to the point of stability, gas for cooking will be part of what's left in the remaining acceptable emissions.
