    Exactly. Gas makes no sense in the home. It’s worse than induction in every way, it’s bad for the air quality in the home as you’ve said, it is dangerous if not properly maintained, risking a deadly leak, it heats the house and everything… And slower than even modest induction stoves. The government could subsidise an induction stove for the people during the phase out process.

    As for the commercial stuff, I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to replace 99% of the gas with electrical, remember that commercial doesn’t include manufacturing, just services and stuff. It won’t be easy, but well worth it.

    For industrial, it will probably be impossible to completely remove it, but as you said, there are great innovations that we could probably reduce that drastically. I didn’t count that in the 70.7% thing in my comment though, that was just residential, power, and commercial since I don’t have any clue how fast and how much of the industrial gas consumption can be replaced in the near future.
