Is there a problem with this? We did the exact same thing many years ago in Denmark. Electric (induction) stoves are the norm now and a no-brainer imo. Much efficiency

Interesting. Did the state/government provide any funds to help with the transition for homeowners? I don’t think this is a bad idea at all, especially now that induction stoves are common place.

Not that I know of. We still use gas in old buildings where it was already laid in, but new construction only has electricity. By 2035 heating by gas will also be phased out.

Yeah, induction is just a no-brainer at this point

fiat_lux,

Apart from the normal ones, I'd say no. I just think it's good to hear from different regions what they might be doing to address global concerns. I now know to cite Denmark as an example of where prohibiting new gas connections has worked without destroying the fabric of society.

By normal problems, I mean:

  • gas companies complaining about being constrained from harvesting more profit
  • boomers complaining about "freedom of choice", who usually think gas is still much cheaper than electricity when it isn't
  • whatever conservatives are saying because it looks like change

My home state represent. Daniel Andrews has largely done a decent job despite the Media’s attempts to tear him down.
