In an ideal world the government would also ensure that everyone can afford a new induction stove, even if the tax payers have to chip in, because this is literally the best use of money. But again, a few million dollars, conspiracies, this is communism and so on.
The ideal world would still let us screw each other over, but it would let us do that for millions of years instead of decades. Sustainability is everything, the rest can be fixed later.
What if I like my gas stove?
That would be the obvious market solution on a spaceship, but not on planet, even though a planet is a spaceship. This also means that there is barely any decarbonization innovation, because you can't do much from donations.
We need a market solution for pricing the externalities, no matter how painful it is.
