Some people (myself included) are quite attached to cooking with gas. Induction seems to be the best alternative and doesn't require non-renewable fuel.

> What does induction cooking have to do with renewable energy?

Gas stoves aren't renewable. For most countries, they're dependent on volatile exports.

See, when I initially wrote that comment, it legitimately did not occur to me that there was even such a thing as a "gas stove" until I walked away from the computer. In my world they're a strange novelty.

Resistive electric stoves aren't super popular for cooking on. Gas stove use gas which can't be powered by traditional renewables. Induction cooking is competitive with gas cooking and can be powered by renewables.

Seriously, people are going to downvote me for not automatically thinking of gas stoves, when I haven't even seen one in like over a decade?
