I’m all for clean energy but it should be converted as the old system hits end of life.

We don't have time for that unfortunately. We are way behind pace for transitioning to clean sources (including nuclear).

I also wish democrats would stop focusing on things like gas stoves. Jesus that is stupid. Gas is superior for cooking

The culture only thinks that gas is better because fossil fuel companies saw the writing on the wall and wanted to get yet another foot in the door. So they started a massive campaign advertisement campaign to make people think it's better. If people ran gas lines to their houses, the chances of them using gas to heat their homes increased, making money for the fossil fuel industry.

I've cooked on both, they're not any different cooking wise tbh.

And democrats aren't really focusing on it. It's a side issue at most. I've seen maybe 4 articles on it from leftist subs in the last few years.

But the argument to get rid of them is there, because they are terrible for home air quality. My girlfriend has asthma and it is such a fucking life saver to be able to use an electric one without killing her. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels is a good side benefit as well.

And that was already an option. Nobody was saying that electric stoves were banned. Let people make their own decisions about their own homes
