Can we say, how much of that was written by electric stove lobby? Are the researchers really independent?
Can we say, mining gas, transporting it to houses and burning in small amount is so worse than mining same gas, burning lot of them in power plant (one energy transformation lose, physics), then turning electricity into hear (another energy transformation lose)?
Much may depends on places You live, but what if electric stove is way more expensive in use than gas (to some, it is)?
I’d like to believe that electricity is much better coz it is more comfy, but won’t ignore global eco nor personal wallet aspects.
Yes, we can with 100% certainty say gas stoves are worse for people than electric stoves just like any small gaa engine is worse than a comparable electric engine.
This is not a hard concept and if you’d like it explained in more detail I’d happily do so. It is important to me that more people understand the benefits of electrification not just for my benefit but for theirs.
I mean, i do not doubt, burning anything, includes gas at stoves, do make, do pollute. That much is basic.
But is that pollution amount really so big, that affect our health in so big way, as article suggest? or maybe just keeping window open twice a day, or cook in not-tiny room is enough to minimize health issues below noticeable - while some lobby trying to lie to us and make us buy stuff?
Many many separate studies in the medical literature have shown that burning fossil fuels kills more than 250,000 people per year in the US alone. Air quality indoors and outdoors is a huge contributor to heart disease (#1 killer worldwide), lung disease, cancer, etc. Are you a smoker? Because having a gas stove is the equivalent to having a permanent smoker sitting at your kitchen table from a benzene (carcinogen) exposure perspective.

The paper had them literally swap out gas for electric and see a bigger improvement in patient health than standard medical treatment.
