We’ll muddle through. At any rate, the point is to focus on low hanging fruit —- target high emitters, an electric stove powered by a coal plant is worse than a natural gas stove.

NY does get some amount of power from out of state while it having any coal plants in the state but - edit - it seems to be less than 1%. Now I actually wonder why NJ has so much coal power compared to ny.
This is actually probably untrue. Gas stoves produce a huge amount of waste heat (==extra fuel burned) that isn't produced by electric.
