Simply not true; the average oven installed these days costs more than all the cabinetry combined... cabinetry is cheap and easy to reconfigure. The first result in Google for 'ovens US' even has it in their blurb... >...find s

These things are extremely easy to reconfigure, and no cabinetry is not very expensive. Even utilising just standard residential ovens, they come in 600, 750, and 900 widths, and a variety of heights. There are plenty of commercial electric

4) That's a terrible way to make laws. By that description we should ban dogs. Surely the number of people terrified by dogs far exceeds the number of people scared of drones, by a huge number.

Sadly your snippy little comment doesn't make them any better. They cost more, don't go as far, take longer to refill, and do very little to help stop the world burning. If people need to head to the capital to protest or whatever
