A Biden administration policy to phase out single-use plastic straws on public lands prompted an absurd scene in the House of Representatives late Thursday night.
Yes, your 100% right, that would be much better, but if Republican whine this much about gas stoves and plastic straws it’s not going to happen soon. My feeling in it is, baby steps are better than no steps.
Fwiw, gas stoves makes sense to go after. While the overall pollution from them isn’t that high, the pollution is very close and affecting kids.
In a few generations it’s going to be seen like lead in paint, if not quite that extreme.
In any case, I absolutely love my induction cooktop. after adjusting my “this is high” and “this is simmer” levels… performance is at least as good. Even on my cast iron. The biggest problem is scratched on the cook top and/or breaking it.
Not to mention the cost of running those damn things. I’ve not used my gas stove in my apartment in a while because god forbid I use it, that’s $5 or $10 tacked to my utility bill when rent comes due. For something that was used for 20 minutes. I think electric stoves should be a mandated thing for all apartments and all other residential housings.
