Coal is not oil and US coal comes from the US.

Natural gas is not oil and US natural gas comes from the US and Canada.


I can use all of the above to heat my house. In the last 12 months, I spent
$2200 on natural gas. My sister-in-law heats with electricity.

For this purpose, they're interchangable.

Yeah, so what?

Most building heat on the West side of the US is natural gas and has
been for about a half century.

You will be hard pressed to find any new construction (or within the
past couple of decades) that uses anything other than gas for building
heat in an area with a gas distribution system.

Using electricity for heat is a dumb idea unless you are getting
your power from the TVA for essentially nothing.
