In the USA, retail #electricity purchases accounted for 43% of total residential sector end-use energy consumption in 2021. (Same as in my poll.)
#NaturalGas accounted for 42% of residential sector end-use energy consumption in 2021: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/use-of-energy/homes.php
This diverges from my poll (which is at 15%) probably because of two differences: my cohort mostly is Northern Atlantic and my question was on space heating only.

"Modern high-volume hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to enable the extraction of natural gas or oil from shale and other forms of “tight” rock (in other words, impermeable rock formations that lock in oil and gas and make fossil fuel production difficult). Large quantities of water, chemicals, and sand are blasted into these formations at pressures high enough to crack the rock": https://www.oklahomaminerals.com/fracking-101 #fracking #pollution #fossilGas #naturalGas #oilAndGas #methane #energy #fossiFuels
