Gas has been the cheaper option for so long, and I think a lot of people mistake that for efficiency. The idea that something can be both less efficient but also cheaper seems counter-intuitive.
Until very recently gas appliances were the sensible option because the cheaper running costs more than made up for the increased up front costs (unless you are a landlord and will be pushing the operating costs to someone else). That has also changed, which I think a lot of people also haven’t caught up with.
I checked my local noticeboard a few hours ago and all these people calling this country a dictatorship.
Sounds exactly like the shit that happened in America where Biden mentioned something about gas stoves and all these politicians and reactionaries are complaining about gas stoves.
How dare anyone tell me what to do! I’m supposed to have the freedom to do whatever I like, and people that want freedom from the consequences of my actions are free to leave. The defining mantra of our age.
I think the gas ban needs more education. So many people still believe that it’s more efficient using a gas heater than reverse cycle.
We’re now better off burning the gas in a power plant, and running reverse cycles than using gas heating itself.

I thought we had freedom of speech in Australia??? Guess we do live in a dictatorship. /s (just in case)
