It is true, it will do nothing to reduce our carbon footprint.  Unfortunately, as we live in a cold climate, we NEED heat for our homes and since McWynnty et al have so successfully managed to make hydro in OntariOWE unaffordable to most people, natural gas and wood burning are the only real alternatives left.  

I'd love to turn off my gas and electric, but I doubt very much that Wynnbag will pay to replace my plumbing or the food in my fridge and freezer.
