Tanuj Deora works in the energy industry - specifically to decarbonize energy systems. That's the technical term for efforts to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels. It's a vast and complex problem, but Deora and his family try to do their part. At their home in Northwest Washington, they have solar panels, LED lightbulbs and a hybrid minivan. In the kitchen, though, the issue of fossil fuel usage was more personal. Their natural gas cooktop was making Deora sick.
"I would get a headache whenever the gas was running," he says, so he started looking into replacing their gas stove.
But first, he had to sell his wife, Amy, on the idea. The two of them love to cook and make meals from scratch most nights. Amy believed that gas cooking was superior in performance. When they remodeled their kitchen in 2021, though, she agreed to try an induction stove. Five months later, they have no regrets. "This cooktop isn't just adequate for cooking - it's better than the gas stove was," Deora says.

The first sentence gives away the game: “Tanuj Deora works in the energy industry - specifically to decarbonize energy systems. That’s the technical term for efforts to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.”
An article that’s supposed to make you feel good about your locality banning gas stoves and furnaces.
Like when the gas range dethroned wood stoves, yeah? /s
lulz
You can’t get as much heat from any kind of electrical stove as a gas stove. You can’t because physics!
Meanwhile, don’t tell them where the electricity comes from.
Good way to force people to comply by cutting off their electricity, so they have to eat raw or cold.
When I was a lad in New England, our gas stove heated our house when electrical outages killed the oil furnace during winter storms.
gas is the best stove top, electric is the best oven, induction sucks.
Wood cook stove is the best
Pro no choice.
Except killing babies and if they could openly get away with killing old people they would.
I’ve never heard of an induction stove but I know you can get metal to some fierce temperatures quickly that way. Still, the whole thing is, it’s not scalable because without massive use of fossil fuels for generation, there won’t be enough electricity for millions of these and with all the millions of EVs charging away,
Which they can do remotely with smart meters . . .
yessir.
brother ad sil have induction, they say it SUCKS!!
except for heat regulation
All gas appliances need to have their air/fuel ratio adjusted for altitude.
When we had our house built the stove area was plumbed for gas and wired for electric. When the gas stove died, we went for an electric, with a small upper oven and larger lower convection over. But the best part is the cook top which is induction, which is very slick.
makes sense
When our power went out during storms when I was a kid, my grandmother just lit the stove up with a match and the pilot.
(Can you still do that with modern gas ranges/ovens???)
