What a gas stove ban means for restaurants
Seems like a lot of the interest in these bans is coming from new research like this [Stanford study](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.stanford.edu&#x2F;2022&#x2F;01&#x2F;27&#x2F;rethinking-cooking-gas&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.stanford.edu&#x2F;2022&#x2F;01&#x2F;27&#x2F;rethinking-cooking-gas&#x2F;</a>) showing gas stoves emit more methane than previously thought.<p>They say all residential stoves in the US emit GHG equivalent to 500,000 cars.<p>There are 276 million cars in the US. So, this problem is about 1&#x2F;500 of the car problem. If you eliminated all stoves today (eliminate, not replace with induction), you would make an impact equivalent to reducing driving by 0.2%.<p>Of course it only applies to new construction. If it disincentivizes construction, that&#x27;s widely considered a feature, not a bug. California is the Land of Unintended Consequences.
