TLDR: they would have to pay to replace natural gas related equipment in their bakeries.
In the article they mention that there's specialty ovens that are apparently only available to work with natural gas for making the perfect bagel.
The article also summarizes my opinion that if natural gas is making people sick and contributing to their displacement, then it's pretty easy to do without bagels.
I also kind of refuse to believe that it would be impossible to make an electric bagel oven. Innovate or die, you know?
Don't let perfect become the enemy of good enough. If electric ovens can make good enough bagels, then there's no argument against not using them.
