Compared to auto & truck emissions. In other words, if no homes were heated with oil, natural gas, propane, etc., would the amount of air pollution created annually be materially less? Or would there be no significant difference? (Please don’t give me "your guess"; if you have some hard facts, bring ‘em on; otherwise, don’t just tell me things like "well, you KNOW most pollution comes from cars." I’m not interested in idle speculation. Thanks!)

Because we cannot directly measure every single emission made by every home and every car, there can be no accurate information about this type of study. Any info you may find will be speculation. Until the output of every single car and home can be measured, all we can do (even scientifically) is idly speculate and share our opinions and ideas with others. In my opinion, cars emit less pollutants than homes heated with gases, especially since many homes now operate on electricity. Modern cars are designed with the environment in mind, while less work has been done to minimize emissions from homes. Since I live green for the most part, I try to minimize both by walking, riding my bike, or riding the bus when possible as well as wearing an extra sweater or blanket instead of turning up the thermostat.
