Re: Would definitely not willingly go back to gas.
So.... you're suggesting everyone with a (often perfectly functional) gas hob should upgrade to electric? Sounds expensive and wasteful.
Yup. And you'll also need to get rid of gas central heating.
Sadly, it's currently official government policy and will have to be done in order to meet UK (and EU) carbon reduction targets. There's a possible alternative though, namely changing the entire UK CH4 distribution infrastructure & appliances to burn H2 instead... Which would a FUN changeover to manage, not to mention producing all the H2 required to replace domestic/industrial gas heating & cooking needs.
