Cooking on gas is the one environmentally damaging thing I don't want to give up, I'll admit...

Realistically, how likely is it that this whole gas system we've been using will look batshit crazy in the future.

We build a city wide network of pipes carrying flamable gas ... so we can all have a nicer cooking experience despite alternatives being basically mainstream? What?!

Plenty of comments in here about induction being better or as good with different strengths/weaknesses. IME, I agree completely, I much prefer induction now.

But just recently I had to downgrade to the "crappy" electric stove tops. And you know what ... it's fine. Seriously, you get used to it and cook decently enough. There's probably a lot of "preciousness" around cooking and kitchens TBH.

The thing about gas stoves is that they release pollutants in your house. It spikes CO, CO2 and a bunch of other combustion residue.
