Oh please, the gas stove/appliance issue is one that impacts future installations in California. It's not an unreasonable move, and I say this as someone who has a gas stove that was converted from electric a number of years ago. When I need a new stove, I'll go back to electric. In Washington state future construction will require heat pumps rather than oil furnaces as well...I'm about to take advantage of the IRA and convert our oil furnace to a heat pump even though no one is forcing me to do so. I hope to both save $$$ and do the right thing to move away from fossil fuels. The migration from appliances that negatively impact our carbon footprint is not unwise and does not mean current homeowners have to change anything. However, with incentives in place, I imagine more people like myself will choose to do so. I'm also thinking of taking advantage of the incentives to have an EV charging plug installed at the house even though I don't currently own an electric vehicle. Eventually, I'll replace my current car and so why not take advantage of this now so I can easily purchase an EV when the time comes. Gradually weaning consumers off fossil fuels is prudent is it not?
