Gas crisis leaves Europe searching for solutions

In the UK, gas is the most common fuel for heating homes and for cooking. Whether this gas crisis will change people's attitude to electric heating and cooking I don't know, but for a long time electric has been viewed negatively for heating and cooking (cost of electricity being a major reason).

In some ways, electric simplifies things: no complicated gas boiler to need to be serviced every year for safety. And modern induction hobs have some advantages over gas hobs (stovetops).
