It’s Time To Break Up With Our Gas Stoves | Climate Town

Caption notes

In this 2021 Climate Town video, Rollie Williams discusses why gas stove advertising could affect whether a building is connected to gas. He suggests that stoves, water heaters and space heating can share a gas supply, so a preference for gas cooking can affect other equipment choices. The video pairs older ads with social media promotion to discuss how consumer preferences enter the debate over building electrification. Williams uses possible methane leaks during fuel transport to explain why he includes supply-chain emissions in the comparison. This guide follows the argument and advocacy at the time. Specific marketing claims, figures, health claims and regulations were not independently verified.
