I don't think this is similar to the plastic straws at all. The focus for banning gas stoves is on the (respiratory) health issues associated with gas cooking of the household. It is not about climate change.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoSo says the climate change institute who funded the study. The real reason seems to be elsewhere: people care about cooking with gas, but they use gas heaters if they have gas. If you can stop people from cooking with gas, you can switch entire houses to electric more quickly.
- cinntaile 4y agoSomebody else mentioned the same argument but I'm not buying it. Gas use for heating has a much bigger impact on your personal finance than just a gas stove, but you're saying gas stove cookers have an almost religious devotion to using gas because it's so much better? The problem is... If it's almost religious then rational arguments won't reach them anyway.
