Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better. Democrats in America suck, yes, like Labor in Australia sucks. I’m still absolutely making my vote count away from the conservatives.

My mother used gas stove tops her whole life. My dad has quite a bit of climate concern, and he convinced her to go to electric induction (after many years of argument, mind you).

3 years later, and neither of them would ever cook on gas again. Mum cannot believe how truly efficient electric induction heating is, and combined with their new solar panels, the only bill they’ve had to maintain since 2023 is the internet.

I think in Australia, there’s a bit of a stigma against electric cooking, because in the 70s, 80s, electric cooking was achieved with really slow, inefficient resistance coils. I would submit that there will be an even greater acceptance of electric cooking once the older generation get the opportunity to try induction.
