Propane is also non polluting. With a properly tuned flame - heat, carbon dioxide and water.
All fossil fuels pollute.
Propane Emissions
Propane is a relatively clean-burning fuel, which is attributed to its lower carbon content. However, its combustion does produce wastes, such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, greenhouse gas, methane and non-methane overall organic carbon. Because propane is a low-carbon fuel, using it to replace conventional fuels could cause significant reductions in harmful emissions. For example, the Argonne National Laboratory has estimated that converting a vehicle from using conventional fuels to propane could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 10 percent.

Producing electric with generators pollutes. Making solar panels pollutes. Making wind generators pollutes. Because we use fossil fuels to produce these things. Nuclear plants produce hazardous waste that will last hundreds or possibly thousands of years. Some fuels pollute less than others.

Nope. Propane does not pollute with a property tuned burn (air/fuel ratio). Look it up.
Don't confuse propane with natural gas. Natural gas does pollute.

It does emit a very low level of carbon dioxide, however, it is considered a good source of clean energy.

Natural gas cookstoves are being phased out because they do emit unhealthy byproducts. As far as I know there is no push to eliminate propane cookstoves.

II hope that you have a vent fan on your gas stove and use it when you are cooking. I was working at a customers house and was in the kitchen. The lady and her little girl were sitting there. I asked her if she ran the vent fan when cooking on the gas stove. I got the deer in the headlights look. I said would you want your little girl to smoke , I told her that an unvented stove was as bad or worse. She had an awakening.

Natural Gas does need an exhaust and there is a big push to eliminate them for indoor cooktops. Propane needs a vent to allow oxygen into the room. The worst part of burning propane inside is it consumes oxygen. The biggest by-product is water.
Propane engines are used inside all the time with no ill effects.

I beg to differ. Any combustion of any fuel creates an "exhaust" be it carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide or both. You would not run a gas heater in your living room unvented would you? How about a gas log fireplace with no chimney? I have a natural gas stove and also the same fuel for the clothes dryer. When I installed the dryer the building inspector told me to get the metal vent hose to connect to the outside wall. He said " that is handling products of combustion so the plastic hose is no good". I always run my exhaust hood fan whenever the stove burner is turned on. Not only that but it gets the heat out of the house and here in Florida that is a good thing about 90+% of the time.

As an aside my stove and dryer used to be propane but I got tired of having to get the tank filled when they chose to get to me. I have seen forklifts etc. run on propane in big wharehouses etc. and they aren't bad but there is always a lot of air circulation and usually a big open door at one or both ends. When I was still and active contractor I went to a lot of those places and could always smell the machines presence.When I used to hunt in Arkansas they used a lot of Butane .

I'm not disputing anything I'm reading here. It all makes me think about a 9 year residence I had about 10 years ago and previous to that. I was renting a small 2 BR house that had only a gas fireplace for heating. It was not vented. I guess I'm lucky I'm still here.
