1. Numerous regulations dictate safe home building. You can't legally build a home with faulty wiring. We accept these rules as part of a society, unless you are libertarian / sob citizen bent, which it sounds like you are.

2. Gas stoves leak when turned off. These leaks equaled 76% of their total methane gas emissions. These are pollutants that are harmful to humans and the atmosphere. Many fume hoods just recirculate air into the living space.

I mentioned above that I would love to see true fume hoods required for new buildings, as a regulation.

I'm not libertarian or even conservative and am surprised at an ad-hominem attack like this.
