Consider this: If we aren't cooking outside, then we're probably cooking inside and creating heat at the same time that we may have our air-conditioning cranked up. Does that make sense? If the marginal use of electricity is coal-generated (most likely), then that's a double-whammy to CO2 emissions. Cooking on an electric stove will generate excess heat and make air-conditioning (if you have it) work harder. There are many ways to help reduce CO2 emissions, but has anything thought of "move less, breathe less", not having children, or jumping off a bridge?
