The subject of the article has nothing to do with decomissioning working appliances, it is about not allowing new gas links or gas stoves, entirely different subject here. Every new gas stove we add today has a working life of 15-30 years.

Induction stoves don't have visible coils and heat up instantly. You're talking about a resistance stove, not an induction stove. induction: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ikea.c... resi

thats likely an issues with your pans, or with your coil size. Both of those are solvable problems, and if we had mandates to enforce electric only heating these problems would be solved much faster due to demand.

We need to decarbonize the economy, including food prep. 2 weeks ago, British Columbia Canada recorded temps in the F 120s. Just this past week a huge series of flash floods destroyed a lot of towns and killed 130+ people in Germany and the

This sucks a lot. Induction stoves are better than gas stoves but chefs don't like them because it's a new tool the need to learn how to use. They have a many years of experience with their old tool, of course they will say the ne

People are not moving from natural gas to the old style resistance coil electric stoves that everyone is accustomed to, they are moving to induction stoves that get to temp nearly instantly, have a high power output ceiling.

The goal is to decarbonize our economy. We need to convert pretty much everything that uses fossil fuels in house to use electricity. At the same time we are replacing in house fossil fuel usage (gas stoves, gas water heaters, etc) we also

Rents, education, childcare costs, and healthcare costs have been rising everywhere, not just in city centers. OSU is way more expensive than it was 20 years ago. My mom graduated from OSU in the 80s and paid for her self with a summer job

I'm not talking about making construction costs high, I am talking about lobbying against known technologies/techniques/code changes that can improve the efficiency of construction, it is a subtle distinction. Yes, there are

This is pretty well documented. The main point is that older generations had access to much cheaper housing, they bought it instead of rented it, and it went up in value. Millenials by and large rent instead of own, and the rent increases h

I think you presuppose that the abuse is in the past and not the present. My dad actively emotionally abused me, regularly insulted my wife, and tried to destroy my relationship with my mother. By necessity he made it a choice between a rel

I don't think this is what is going on in the article and in these cases of estrangement though. In my experience with myself and my friends estrangement isn't the result of someone who is 35 looking back and misremembering a slig

It’s extremely tough in California. The building trades are one of the most influential interest groups in crafting policy in the state legislature. The leader of the CA trades union who has lead policy lobbying for the past ~10 years recen

It’s not conjecture that the trades lobby against well understood policy changes (modlular housing, cross laminated timber construction) that increase productivity, it’s just not something written about in newspapers or academic studies bec

This doesn’t explain everything though. We have a lot of consumers who want to build modular housing in CA and they are blocked by the trades. The trades lobby against both the construction of modular housing factories and specific proposed

Newsflash: it’s the building trades unions. We have the tech to build nice buildings much more efficiently but we don’t use it due to political advocacy from the trades unions. We have extremely inefficient regulations around building codes

What are you talking about. China has already “gone first” they drove solar costs down below fossil fuel energy production cost. The change to green energy and decarbonization is a huge Keynesian economic stimulus. Decarbonizing is not abou

I don’t think the “land/development prices are too high to build a lot” from the developers will hold if 4plex zoning goes through. Land prices for this are high because there are extremely few opportunities to do this right now under

You create a charitable remainder trust, which is a pretty wild tax instrument that allows you to control the assets, “donate them” (~1% a year of the principal) and collect tax benefits on the total amount at the start of the program. htt

This is the worst possible take. Yes, there are vacant homes. They are by and large vacant because there is no economic opportunity near these homes. The vacancy rates in cities with high homelessness rates are at or below 1%. Yes, there ma

the crazy thing is that there are a ton of "recently homeless" folks you encounter in your daily life without even knowing it. Something like 10% of the cal state university students are homeless. My wife is a doc in the ER and de
