    Then you are living in an area that is running a bit behind.

    Once you electrify heating, no one is going to pay for a gas line in new construction.

    We (Netherlands) had these conversations go down like this 5 years ago. Now, no new home construction is running a gas line.

      Canada, and yeah when it comes to how we build we are definitely behind. Oil and gas is so entrenched in the economy, especially western provinces, that any going against that is blasphemy to a significant chunk of the population. It will get better though. We can already do better, the incentive just isn’t there.
