Project Greenprint – The Stove War

“God. Guns. Gas Stoves.” That’s what a prominent legislator posted on social media early in 2023. Welcome to the Stove War, a cultural flashpoint that pitted gas stoves against their electric counterparts. As with most viral debates, misinformation spouted. Chef Chris Galarza joins us to break stoves down from environmental, health and cooking perspectives in our final episode of our Project Greenprint miniseries.
