How in the living fuck do you make an "energy efficient" stove?
You make it work under different principles. A lot of the heat from fire stoves floats away without doing much. Inductions stoves are more efficient. I think that's the idea behind these kinds of moves.
It depends on what kind of efficiency you're looking at. As far as I know, in terms of the actual effort it takes, gas is a better option. Usually heating things with electricity is unfortunate. It takes a lot more to burn natural gas then make electricity then ship it to you then you turn it into heat than it does to simply burn your own natural gas.
If you look at CO2 alone and handwave away the generation CO2, induction probably looks good.
We're only talking about manipulating the appliances here, so you have to stick to the grid as it exists where there is climate overhead.
Cuz the first question is whether banning gas stoves will fix any appreciable problem. And the second, conditionally, is is it worth it. I think this is a no on both counts, and that makes it a publicity stunt or even a demoralization effort.

If only there were a way to efficiently generate electricity without generating a lot of CO2. We could make it the nucleus of our electrical grid.
Too bad it doesn't exist according to our government.
