The programs aren't eliminating emissions from natural gas. Instead, they're tapping into a huge carbon offset market.
The Earth doesn't care how we move things around in our spreadsheets.
Net zero isn't really well defined or meaningful at any level below the entire globe.
You can get to personal net zero but not with offsets.
At what that costs, it's cheaper to move to a heat pump and induction stove.
Funnily enough it is for both:
electricity price / 3 + cost of heat pump or stove = gas price
Both gas and electricity price obviously over a longer period of time and the 3 can be higher for better heat pumps. Obviously if you have rooftop solar electricity cost can be lower as well.
