The total health cost of fossil fuel heating equipment amounts to almost $88 million annually, according to a new report by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, Verde, Oregon Sierra Club and others. When considering climate damages from burning fossil fuels in homes and businesses, along with health costs, the total cost for Oregonians is staggering – approximately $1.1 billion annually.
