It’s showing how genuinely unlikeable some environmentalists are (which is what happens when you validate the kind of people who worry about things in the distant future) that they’ve been kind of stepping on the message that yes, they want people to give up gas ranges for electric but now induction is even better

I had a circa-80 electric coil one as a kid and yeah, it bothered me that you’d turn the knob and uh, resistance? would change that meant eventually the coil would get hotter, which would make the pan hotter which would make the food hotter

And with gas it’s like no now you’re immediately applying more heat to the pan

But with induction you’re generating heat in the metal of the pan, so when you turn it up you’re pretty directly applying more heat to the food

As someone who will in fact buy a new stove in the next few years, I’m glad I waded through the performative disdain for people doing things the normal way to realize that their alternative was in fact simply better on the dimensions I value!
