I don't really have a position on the issue one way or the other, but it is insane how quickly this somewhat small issue (compared to stuff that everyone has been talking about for decades, like abortion) became part of the culture war, I already see "come and take it" memes being made.
Gas stoves:
They also produce poisonous gas as a waste product and cause massive degradation of indoor air quality because housing codes often don't require vent hoods to actually vent outside.
Maybe people are mad because induction cooking is seen as bougie and they like their gas stoves. And the gas stoves would be fine if ventilation construction codes weren't basically non-existent.
This is wild to me because where I live gas stoves are far and away the bougiest. Only super fucking rich people have gas stoves, poor people have the electric coils and middle class people have the glass top electric, or induction if it’s been redone in the last few years.
This is my experience, too. The massive gas range in the kitchen that gets used a handful of times per year is like a codpiece for your kitchen.
And those are the only gas stoves that exist here outside of restaurants. Something they put in in a several thousand dollar kitchen renovation and hardly use because they hardly cook.
