They didn't really dive into the fact that if you switch all of those gas stoves for electricity...a lot of that electricity comes from NG or coal fired plants anyway.
They focus on leaks too...well every appliance plugged in leaks electricity it multiple forms.
- unethical_ban 5y agoThere is a planned pivot from dirty electricity to clean electricity. There is no pivot from dirty NG to clean NG. More efficient electronics and less wasteful leeches are possible over time. Sealing hundreds of thousands of miles of decentralized gas piping effectively is cost-prohibitive.
- j_walter 5y agoEventually...and maybe once we get to 100% clean electricty we can look at adding more things like 100% EVs, heat and cooking stoves. However pushing to add them now doesn't help the situation. Old appliances in general should probably be replaced...a 30yr old freezer is probably not as efficient as a brand new one, just like a 30yr old gas stove is probably not as efficient or leak free as a brand new one.
