I came across a story from this past spring May 7/2022 from Popular Science. I know that where I live in Vermont's largest city the only place you can burn outside is a campground on the lake (outside fire) gota keep the tourist happy. At this point you can only use LP to grill. There is a big push to use electric to heat with mini splits (more government incentives) I see these as the new catalytic converters soon-stolen in the dead of night. Apparently clean natural gas is the boggy man!

“In my view, it’s criminal that we allow people to be put in a position where they have to poison themselves and their neighbors in order to stay warm.”
