Its targeting government. NYC recently banned natural gas connections to new buildings. This kind of research will help other governments justify the change.

It's also about general safety in NYC. There have been a many deadly accidents over the years. Whole buildings have gone up in flames: https://ny.eater.com/2020/1/21/21070310/pommes-frites-east-v...

Ironically, this accident happened because someone was installing gas illegally.

Prohibition can cause as much harm as it alleviates.
