' replace old non-electric appliances in your house with electric ones '

I have a functional can opener in my kitchen which I crank by hand. The suggestion to replace it with an electric version is stupid virtue signalling.

My toilet runs on water pressure, gravity, and me pressing the lever. Should I get a model with wifi actuated electric flush handle?

I have not had a TV in a couple decades. What TV with wifi and always-on do you recommend to virtue signal?

My car has a cassette tape deck. Should I replace the car for a new model with a built-in 20" dashboard TV to signal that I save the planet?

Ah, “virtue signaling”, ever the reliable indicator that someone is attempting to converse in good faith.

Take this as an opportunity to learn what a major appliance is and that some of them burn natural gas or use electricity very inefficiently:

Really, what TV should I get to save the planet? Are there models with big 'energy efficient' stickers and a few green leaves?

I'm keeping my hand-crank can opener. No need to take this opportunity to research electric can opener appliance energy usage.

he probably meant replace fossil/gas with electric

not to replace passive ones
