Given the EPAs policy on natural gas leaks was to ask the gas companies if they've noticed anything, I'd say we've got some distance to go on stopping the sale of natural gas stoves.
Climate Town has a good video on this subject - and others - that might be a good watch.
The biggest problem with leaving gas stoves is all the older homes that simply are not equipped for them. Many homes with gas not only lack 240v 30a outlets in their kitchens, they may have only 100 or even 60 amp service and may not be able to even add such a circuit. Upgrading to electric could easily cost homeowners 5 figures.
Sounds like the solution is to increase the cost of gas until it costs more than 5 figures to continue using it.
Putting the screws to poor people won't improve the situation.
With governments refusing to take action to wean society off of fossil fuels, screwing poor people is an inevitability. The stuff is finite, eventually it runs out and the prices become unaffordable before the end.
Also want to shout out Technology Connections' video.
