Just a shame this didn’t come 20-30 years back, when the country started working on migrating away from oil furnaces. While that was extremely successful it was mostly done by expanding nat gas municipal networks and replacing oil furnaces by gas-powered ones.
But that used to be a lot more common, these days it’s become rare outside of rather rural places for which a gas network is not economically viable. Basically as oil furnaces reached EOL, people would replace them with gas if they had a muni gas network (“gaz de ville”, literally city gas), because the country subsidised switching away from oil furnaces.
