More specifically, water law concerns: (1) the balance between public rights and private rights to use water; (2) the relative rights of individual water users; and (3) water quality and the regulation of discharges to water. Even in states or cities that require outdoor venting, there are few measures in place to ensure they are installed and operating correctly, or maintaining safe air quality. There are plenty of legitimate questions about how fast natural gas can be phased out of the building sector and how much of that natural gas might be replaced with low-carbon biomethane or synthetic gas along the way, but the long-term direction is clear. There are no federal venting requirements for gas stoves in new buildings and, in many states, no state requirements either. Second, many existing hoods and fans simply recirculate the air (and pollutants) rather than venting it outside. Third, the performance of hoods varies widely, capturing anywhere between 15 and 98 percent of emissions, depending on positioning and air flow. 50 percent, and vehicle use increased by 50 percent.

We’re not just talking about engine oil here, but all fluids in a vehicle. And in all three areas – power generation, transportation, and buildings – the choice grows clearer every day: Renewable electricity reduces air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and, over the long term, consumer costs. Genius.” It is “a consumer marketing campaign that speaks from the heart and mind of today’s homebuyer/remodeler,” says APGA. This sassy campaign, funded at about $300,000 a year, says nothing about indoor air pollution or the gas industry’s opposition to electrification. Indeed, it’s as great on a salad as it in on your mirror, and best of all it costs practically nothing! Another 2018 study found that asthma costs the US $82 billion a year in “medical expenses, missed work and school days, and deaths,” all of which fall disproportionately on the most vulnerable. The new study emphasizes that much of the worst effects of climate change are occurring in the oceans. To remedy that, standards on ventilation and hoods would have to be tightened, made uniform, and enforced much more strictly.

A stove burns about as much gas as a dryer, but alone among major gas appliances, it faces no such requirement. Here’s a fun fact: Stoves are the only major indoor gas appliance not required to be vented outdoors. Commercial airports are publicly owned and generally financed through municipal bonds. But for the individual homeowner, as for society at large, managing harmful pollution eventually starts to seem a little silly when equally effective, affordable, and pollution-free alternatives are available. It’s all part of a large, broad, and well-funded campaign against electrification being waged by the industry. As a result, it is often described as the “life force.” It not only permeates the empty spaces between material objects in Taoism, it is part of their composition. Or the US could just decide to electrify its buildings, switching out gas stoves for electric stoves and induction cooktops. It’s time to start making new buildings all-electric and switching out all those existing gas appliances, including gas stoves, for electric alternatives. Rather, it involves an array of attractive people representing a wide range of market demographics – including a special class of social media “influencers” – cooking with gas in videos across social media platforms.

The base occupies 51,558 acres and employs over 23,000 people, including more than 4,200 active duty and 1,000 Guard, plus 3,200 part-time Reserve personnel. A long, flowing roof smoothes the airflow over the car, resulting in less drag. Another way is through thermal siphoning, the process of removing heat through controlled airflow. LP Consulting Australia is an approved designer who will ensure construction projects are completed professionally, in every way. Most of its actual lobbying and policy advocacy is focused on space and water heating, but stoves are central to its marketing. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, bottled water was an $18.5 billion industry in the U.S. This industry campaign – which I wrote about at greater length in this post – comes in response to a rapidly spreading grassroots “all-electric movement” that has dozens of towns, cities, and counties passing new building codes or ordinances to encourage electrification or, as in Berkeley, California’s case, simply prohibiting gas hookups in new buildings.
