The nutcases are gonna hate this
Snorting carcinogens to own the libs is the real patriotism, brother.
That’s too real.
Science is easy to ignore if you don’t like what it has to say.
Meh, gas stoves kill you with cancer-causing agents. Electric stoves kill you by forcing you to feed into an already unbalanced system wherein the poor get poorer and the rich, in this case executives of power companies, get richer.
Reductive though. The answer is not “reject stove, only eat cold things”. The answer is to deprivatize infrastructure and de-subsidize carbon energy.
I wonder how this works in places like my family home in Colombia. There’s municipal gas distribution for gas stoves. An electric stove for the majority of the population involves a prohibitive cost, both initially when buying the stove and ongoing, due to electricity costing much more than gas.
On the other hand, houses over there tend to be open to the air, where vents are not even needed because there’s very little separation between the air inside and outside.
And I wonder if the stove gas used varies a lot between places and how that might affect the presence of benzene.
