If it's a "distraction", it's because reactionaries are making it one. I don't have a private jet or an F-10,000 (I don't even own a car), and I can see that the pro-gas crowd hasn't considered how good induction cooktops and heat pumps have gotten, and how rapidly they're still improving. The writing is on the wall, there's no future for piping gas to residences, so if you're a government you might as well prepare to stop investing in gas infrastructure now.
- ericmay 4y agoThe problem here is that you are falling prey to the “it’s easier to destroy things than build them” phenomena. You have to convince voters that they should support banning gas stoves and such. (Build things) I don’t have to convince anyone that while the government is “taking away their stoves” so-called billionaires fly around in private jets and own dozens of cars. (Destroy things) It’s just not effective. I want to see effective solutions, not ideological ones. Especially ideological ones that push people away from stated goals.
