I assumed furnaces and water heaters are better ventilated, so this surprised me. Yes, those two emit more nitrogen oxides, but we should be more worried about them indoors than out.
- duskwuff 4y agoThey are. But people get much more defensive about their gas stoves, so here we are.
- YeBanKo 4y agoNope, the media makes seem like people are backwards and get uppity up the gas stove. Gas stove is the cheapest and easier to replace. Induction stove are actually quite nice and typically don’t require much of a retrofit.

- nullc 4y agoGas cooking has an extremely low duty cycle, its an emissions rounding error. Cooking is a major source of indoor air pollution but not due to using gas but due to the polution from cooking itself.
- conk 4y agoOnce furnace and water heaters are electric I really don’t see how maintaining gas infrastructure stays economic for PG&E. I guess they can keep raising minimum monthly charges so you’ll end up paying even if you use no gas.
