The gas industry funded the whole thing:
In today’s fight over gas, CRA also hasn’t acted on its own. It refuses to say who paid the legal bills for its Berkeley suit. As a nonprofit, it must make its tax filings public. In these forms, nonprofits are supposed to disclose contractors to whom they paid at least $100,000 in the previous year. CRA regularly lists law firms working on its behalf, such as those litigating Covid-related restrictions. But the restaurant group has never disclosed a payment to Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP, the law firm that spearheaded the Berkeley case.
The Berkeley lawsuit topped the $100,000 threshold. When Sarah Jorgensen, the law firm’s founding partner, spoke at a National Propane Gas Association board meeting in February, she was asked what a legal challenge of this sort would cost, according to a recording of the discussion heard by Bloomberg Green. After an NPGA executive estimated it would require $300,000 to $400,000 to take a case to court and “another couple of hundred thousand” for appeals, Jorgensen said “we definitely spent more than that on Berkeley.” In a written response to questions, Jorgensen declined to say who paid their legal bills.
I’m curious what caused you to loathe cooking with induction?
Takes sooooo long to heat up pans and I could never keep the thing clean. Food gets baked on and to clean it meant scratching it.
I switched to gas for the first time ever with a new house and I can use Woks again, pans heat up stupid fast, I can actually cook better and more consistently. I love it. It’s honestly a guilty pleasure now because I do minimize consumption for so many other things already.
I have solar and shit too, hybrid hot water, etc. etc.
Interesting, I’ve not had similar problems using my cast iron on induction, maybe there wasn’t enough current in your system, was it a counter top model or a built in?
Edit: And by “the thing” you meant your pans right?
“the thing” is the induction top.
I was using either steel or nonstick pans on the induction stovetop. It was a new home build. It’s possible someone didn’t do something right with the electrical when built, but it’s also unlikely.
