Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

I don’t have air conditioning so that’s a sweet dig I guess
Also I’m not about to go ripping my house apart and running new 220v wires to save a buck. And I’m saying this as an electrician haha. There’s literally no access to underneath my kitchen where the gas lines for the stove and dryer run to the basement. They just put the (old growth) floor joists right overtop the dirt like you would a shed and cut a hole in the foundation to run utilities into that part of the house.
I don’t live in California where they’re tryin to outlaw natural gas. I live in Pennsylvania which is one of the biggest suppliers of gas so it’s not exactly going anywhere. To try what they’re doin out west would be like mass destruction to people’s homes in Pittsburgh. It’s a very old city, lots of lath and plaster walls, etc. Not something that’s easy to just plug in an induction stove like some of these comments are making it out to be
I suppose asking an American to do something to save the planet rather than save a buck would be a complete waste of time, so fair enough, you do you. Don’t worry, it’s everyone else that pays.
Okay bud I’ll get right on ripping apart my entire kitchen down to the studs and completely removing my floor and rebuilding the whole damn room to save $10 in energy costs per month
Clearly you don’t know wtf you’re even sayin
My theory is that organized religion is lessening over time (and to some extent organized sports too), but people still need that cult fix. Politics has become their new religion. Thus they can take a hard line stance on everything and ignore all the gray areas in this world.
My theory is there’s half a continent of knucle-dragging fucking inbreds set on destroying the planet, who build their shitty-ass houses out of spit and cardboard and then complain that running a cable is too damned hard.
Potato, potato.
It’s not “running a cable” it’s upending my life for months on end and ruining my floor, walls, etc. And again, the stove is using a barely negligible amount of energy at all. A stove is 3-5% of your monthly gas usage compared a furnace + hot water tank + dryer, which guess what I’m keeping those too.
I’m saying this as an electrician that runs wires all the damn time and could do this work for myself but I guess you can’t read or something so: I. Have. No. Access.
