Frequent Sea Change Radio listeners have known for a while about the drawbacks of gas stoves - it turns out they're considerably worse for both the environment and human health as compared to their electric countertop counterparts. Recent statements from the Consumer Product Safety Commission concerning the possible regulation of gas kitchen appliances have unleashed a sudden chorus of cries for rebellion. It's not just restauranteurs and chefs who are worried about changing their cooking style, there's a segment from the more cantankerous crevices of the American political underbelly getting pretty hot under the collar over this one - we'll call them the gassy right. This week on Sea Change Radio we speak with ProPublica reporter, Lisa Song, to discuss how gas ranges have become part of the culture wars, learn about induction cooking technology, and hear about her own experience as a renter in New York City with an old, leaky gas appliance.
