Gas stove is very hot right now. A recent report shows that emissions from gas stoves are exacerbating both the environmental crisis and the health of those who use them. This knowledge has sparked a heated cultural debate in America. Some have voiced support for phasing out gas stoves, while others countered that the government could rescue gas stoves from their cold (perhaps because they stopped paying gas bills). . While controversy rages on, the reality that gas is a problematic energy source is fraught with concerns. Reducing our dependence on appliances and the fossil fuels they consume will not be an easy task.
This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED staff writer Amanda Hoover joins us to rekindle the gas stove debate and talk about what we can actually do to fix the problems that appliances like this. This old is causing.
