If you’re interested in getting your home off of natural (methane) gas, or you want to upgrade your electric coil stovetop, an induction stove is the way to go. Induction stoves are much more energy-efficient, safer to use, healthier to operate, have much more precise temperature control, heat up faster, and … [continued]
If you’re interested in either weaning your home off of natural gas, or in upgrading your electric coil stovetop, an induction stove is the way to go. Induction stoves are more energy-efficient, safer, healthier to operate, have much more precise temperature control, heat up faster, and are easier to clean, … [continued]
It’s no secret that we’re all about the electrification of everything over here at CleanTechnica, from transportation to heating to cooking, and while it may not be feasible for many people to start with big ticket items, such as an electric vehicle or a rooftop solar array or a heat … [continued]
The White House and Department of Energy (DOE) recently laid the foundation for two monumental home energy upgrade initiatives: the Home Efficiency Rebates program, which offers up to $8,000 to households, and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program, which provides up to $14,000. These rebate programs — made possible … [continued]
Solar and affordable lithium-ion batteries are ushering in the golden age of camping and exploring with your vehicle. We attended the California Tesla Takeover event this weekend in San Luis Obispo, California, as a normal citizen, not press. We were blown away with the special section of the event dedicated … [continued]
Does cooking with gas affect indoor air quality? Of course it does — that is simply no longer a question. How much, is the better question. Combusting methane (natural gas) creates byproducts. Like any other chemical reaction, when natural gas is lit on fire, it reacts with the air and … [continued]
There are lots of reasons why induction cooking is better than gas: control, speed, safety, health, and the environment. In our last post, we sang the praises of induction and dug into all the reasons it is crucial for decarbonizing our lives. In this post, we assume you’re sold and … [continued]
How we cook our food plays a big role in our ability to fully decarbonize our lives and keep our families healthy. While less significant in its emissions compared to other home activities like space and water heating, cooking can be one of the last holdouts in the transition to … [continued]
Gas stoves, like gas anything, are a 20th century technology that doesn’t have a place in our clean century. They served their purpose over the last decades, but now that we have research showing how much they pollute in our homes and outdoors, and considering the excellent high-performing electric alternatives, … [continued]
It is widely known that gas production and transportation both result in methane leakage, but a new study found that appliances, such as stoves, leak dangerous methane — even when they are not being used. These results are concerning because methane is a powerful climate pollutant that has a global warming potential … [continued]
