Did you know that your next stove could pay you back? New induction ranges come with built in batteries, allows you to boil water in under a minute, run on a regular outlet, and even keep your kitchen going during a power outage! Plus, no gas flames, no toxic fumes: wapo.st/4x1T0VR

A study found that swapping gas stoves for electric cut hospital visits and missed school/work days by 70% for people with asthma. The improvement was bigger than what they typically see w/ medication. Most people have no idea what's coming out of their gas stoves: bit.ly/4zMIGnq

📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills. Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.

For years, gas has been marketed as the "gold standard" for serious cooking. But a recent Wirecutter review found that a new induction cooktop delivered incredibly fast boiling, precise temperature control, and high-heat performance— all without burning gas indoors! nyti.ms/45x9mdD

Home should be where we breathe easiest. But the air inside our homes can contain pollutants that affect our health, especially for children, older adults, & people living with chronic conditions. Dr. Sheetal Rao breaks down why indoor air pollution from our gas appliances deserves more attention.

A new peer-reviewed study, supported by ZeroCarbonMA, found elevated indoor methane levels in 93% of homes with gas service—regardless of the home's age or size. It also found that leaks can occur simply because gas piping is present, even when appliances aren't in use: bit.ly/4ow6WEP

A bottle of wine has a warning label. Bleach has a warning label. Hair dye has a warning label. So why doesn't a gas stove? Research has linked gas stoves to pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, & benzene—yet most people never see that info when they're shopping. #PutALabelOnGas

What if you could test-drive a new stove the same way you'd borrow a book? Across the Bay Area, libraries are lending induction cooktops so residents can try them at home before making the switch from gas. This might be one of the coolest things a library has done lately! bit.ly/4ocrEK4

Your stove shouldn’t pollute more than the street outside your home — but for millions of Americans, it does. A new study shows gas + propane stoves can expose you to as much nitrogen dioxide inside as all outdoor sources combined! That means higher risks of asthma, lung disease, and even cancer.
