The state is the first to put labels on the appliances pointing consumers to evidence about the harms of cooking with gas. Appliance manufacturers are…
Of all the things that are a real problem in this world, we are going after gas stoves?!
I keep seeing this and it feels very much orchestrated. Next, we will get the people who love their induction cooktops yapping about how they are far superior. Unless you have an aluminum pan. Or if its not the right size. You know, things that aren’t issues on normal cooktops.
New construction in Vancouver is all about going all-electric by removing the need gas furnaces by installing heat pumps, and removing the need for gas stoves with better cooking tech (though gas stoves aren’t outlawed).
Water heating and space heating are the two largest energy uses on the residential level. Removing the need for gas pipes in most homes reduces methane leakage and improves the lives of residents.
Yea, I don’t understand why people are so rabid against gas all of a sudden. It seems like an odd hill to die on, with the current geopolitical issues.
From my own experience, moving from an area with only electric heat/stoves: gas is far cheaper, and safer(have you seen the dreadful electrical work in cheaper homes?) - with good ventilation. Not to mention that the electricity for my area comes from a coal plant…
Cook with what you want: gas, induction, a charcoal grill; idc.
There was a report that gas stoves were linked to health issues. Then the culture war bullshit crowds pretended that meant “the nanny state is taking our gas stoves!!!”
It was a handy distraction from everything else that everyone should’ve been focused on.
