## 🌎 Environmental Impact

From a sustainability perspective, the type of energy your home uses can make a big difference. In areas with clean energy grids (powered by solar, wind, hydro), electric cooking has a lower carbon footprint than gas. With growing concerns about climate change, many cities are encouraging a shift away from natural gas for health and environmental reasons.

Induction, once again, comes out as the most energy-efficient and eco-friendly option—especially when paired with renewable electricity.
