No, the government is not coming for your gas stove. At least not this second. But your stove could have implications for the health of your household (gas stoves are the top trigger for pediatric asthma in the state, for example), as well as our environment. WBUR Climate and Environment Correspondent Barbara Moran joins The Common to discuss alternatives, as well as safety tips, for cooking with gas.

Editor's note: A previous version of the audio portion of this story incorrectly stated the number of Boston homes with gas stove leaks. The story has been corrected. We regret the error.
