So like I know certain things can’t be cooked on electric, but like I watch YouTube cooking videos and the guys with electric stoves just use like a small propane burner thing that goes on the kitchen counter to use like a wok or Moka Pot. I don’t know when people need 4 gas burners specifically, and I don’t think gas/electric matters for oven…. So shouldn’t that just be the end of the debate.
Like just buy one of the little gas stove things for those specific recipes, and then you won’t get cancer…..
The whole thing is dumb. gas stoves aren’t a significant ghg contributor and the health issues would be rectified by good fume extractors which any stove needs because coils smoke like a motherfucker when u drip shit on em and plenty of ways of cooking produce smoke and steam.

You just said that gas stoves don’t significantly contribute to Ghg though and if we’re accepting a world where we can mandate more powerful ventilation we can just ban gas heating in new construction and renovate existing places with gas heat.
That’s the way to act as a peoples party, not by prying things away from them but by recognizing that people care what the stove is and don’t care what their heat is (as long as it always works) and that the thing ppl like isn’t important and the thing they don’t care about is.
Of course more realistically speaking, can we say what the bourgeois state should do when we know it’ll be captured and subverted by the wealthy.
That’s not even touching the “gas works in a power outage” aspect of it.
good luck getting every shitty landlord to do major construction work for whenever this isn't easily feasible. I mean this in the sense of being a leftist means always having two opinions: how it should be done in a better world, and how it should be done now
