As gas leaks have plagued a New York City co-op for years, treasurer Ed Yaker discovered Copper, a startup making plug-in electric induction stoves. These stoves run on standard outlets, foregoing costly rewiring, and offer health benefits by eliminating harmful pollutants associated with gas cooking. Research highlights that gas stoves release toxic substances, prompting many to transition to electric. Environmental scientist Rob Jackson emphasizes the significant indoor pollution gas stoves cause, and how switching to electric cooking improves air quality and reduces health risks for residents.
You wouldn't stand over the tailpipe of a car breathing in the exhaust from that car. And yet nearly 50 million households stand over a gas stove, breathing the same pollutants in their homes.
In terms of, Is this the way to go?' It's a no brainer, Yaker said, demonstrating a quart of water that boiled in about two minutes.
