In an ideal world we would be able to quickly phase out gas stoves, but we live in a world where a company can pour a few million dollars into social media, create a new conspiracy theory about induction stoves and an equivalence between gas stoves, traditional values and not being a namby-pamby sheep.

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.
