The issue is that I’ve been unable to find any convincing data showing that this will have meaningful impact relative to its cost. This thread has a relevant discussion and citations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=357

That's a fine strategy, but practically speaking, if you're looking for a foot in the door, I'd start with something that doesn't anger more than half of your constituency.

I'm not sure, but yes I could imagine the larger buildings being targeted by more regulations.

Excellent, thank you.

Based on the information you've provided, I don't think we can get rid of a whole percent, since that would require the entire country to completely get rid of gas stoves and also for their new electric stoves to be powered by s

I appreciate you digging up this information, this is exactly what's been lacking in press coverage of the issue. If you're telling me that fully eliminating gas stoves in the U.S. (something that will not happen in our lifetime

Yes, but this regulation targets everyone in the state of New York, not just renters, and the research I've read seems to indicate that fume hoods protect against this indoor pollution.

This regulation unfortunately targets the entire state of New York and includes not just NYC renters but also home owners.

I haven't seen evidence that this regulation will prevent the planet from being destroyed. Also, personal health is not something that's generally regulated by the government, despite the potential to cause additional state spen

This regulation feels quite frustrating to me, and several comments in this thread illustrate why. This change is being promoted as a critical step in the fight against climate change. (See most news articles over the past two years coverin

You seem to be comparing apples and oranges. Credit scores are a reflection of your likelihood of defaulting on a loan, and in debt financing, a fundamental truth is that higher risk = higher reward (in this case, higher fees). That said, I

Couldn't you say this about nuclear research or bioweapons as well? Yet those are highly (and, seemingly effectively) regulated.

This hypothetical incentive structure seems tenuous at best and not the open and shut case it sounded like in your original comment. I’m sorry but I don’t buy it.

It's encouraging to read that people are reacting like I am to this increased pressure to tip—namely, by tipping less. Hopefully this customer behavior will make its way back to management (and maybe even lawmakers) so that we get to a
