Utilities Have Been Lying to Us About Gas Stoves Since the 1970s

Thanks for the non-paywalled article. It produces absolutely no evidence though. or even an explanation or theory. One mention of benzene, which is a well known dangerous substance, but also highly flammable. So unlikely to be produced by burning any gas, and no link to a source. So that sounds like scaremongering to me. If anyone knows how to make benzene out of methane, let me know and we’ll patent the process. The one link to ‘research’ is one that just shows correlation, not causation.
