> Some individuals wanting baba-ganoush in NY should not be the reason to avoid electrification for the others.

What stops the others from having an electric stove, while natural gas infrastructure is still available? Are there living units in NY that have natural gas, but no electricity?

> renters don’t get a choice

Electric stovetops are about 30 dollars for two-plate solutions, if you decide for yourself that natural gas is not for you.

Gas is not charged by solely by consumption, so connecting an electric stovetop doesn’t solve the costs, or solve the safety of having a gas connection, or solve the space lost to the gas stove. Why have all that extra hassle for something that is probably more harmful to the environment and your own health?

You do understand that the very same argument works the other way round, right?
