Okay, so your dryer uses zero electricity, but the carbon impact is presumably still substantial?

Isn't there consensus that the industrial sector's carbon footprint is multitudes greater than residential so even a net-0 residential would barely put a dent in reducing carbon impact?

Probably worse. Gas will always have a carbon footprint. While electricity is getting greener every day!
