5. I think it was added as a reply

but you have many many rural people who use LNG (like propane) for heat.

I remember years and years ago when I got out of college and was driving around to places for interviews in the Philly suburbs and in at least one of the small towns, was shocked to see a big propane tank installed on the outside of houses. This wasn't rural but suburban. However these things were alternatives to oil heat (and I grew up next door to a neighbor who was the only one on the street who got oil heat when everyone else used natural gas).

A "transition" most definitely needs to happen but it needs to be thought through and not pushed with sloganeering. E.g., might heat pumps be something that can quickly replace those propane/oil users, etc.?
