[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet there is still talk of bike lanes on Connecticut and replacing functioning gas stoves, "extras" by most peoples' definition...[/quote]

If we know that gas fumes are bad for humans, and there are incentives to replace them with electric that don't have fumes that cause health problems, then what is the problem? No one is forcing you to replace a gas stove, but if you are doing a substantial renovation, given what we know today, why would anyone use them now?[/quote]

Because they are better ranges and because induction requires new pans and a heavy up.[/quote]

Induction stoves should not require a heavy up unless your box is completely maxed out on breakers - the stoves themselves use very little electricity.

We've added an induction stove, a heat pump and an EV charger to our 25 year old box in the last 4 years with zero issues and we still have 4 available breaker slots for converting our hot water heater and 2nd furnace to electric.

We installed our induction stove in October and about two-thirds of our pots and pans work with the new stove - the only stuff that didn't work were the non-stick pans but we were planning to get rid of those anyhow because the PFAs flake off and can get into your food.  Stainless steel cookware works just fine with an induction stove.

And gas stoves are not better ranges at all - the induction stove cooks stuff much faster and FWIW is way easier to clean.[/quote]
