A report by HuffPost says Oklahoma Natural Gas wants to charge customers who switch to electric stoves and heating systems a nearly $1,400 “exit fee” to disconnect gas service.

The proposal is also part of ONG’s effort to sell off the debt it incurred during the historic cold snap last February when gas prices soared.
