Which is more environmentally friendly for home heating?

Question

Natural gas or heating oil?

Answer 1

clearly gas.

because it has a much greater percentage of hydrogen compared to carbon than oil does.

and adding H2O to the atmosphere does no damage.

Answer 2

natural gas! a cleaner burn!

if you really wanna invest, for for geothermal heating and heat your whole house from the temperature of the earth! i'm not talking about the ones where you have to drill 100s of feet below but a closed loop system in a slinky filled with an alcohol into a heat pump... same system can be used to cool your home in the summer! carbon free!
