Health experts are advising to use electric stoves over glass flames.
Electric coil and induction stoves run on electricity, with the potential for “green” energy sources such as solar and wind power. Gas stoves, though decidedly easier to control for cooking, require the use of fossil fuels, namely natural gas. Their carbon dioxide emissions, while lower than that of other oil or coal, are one of the many factors contributing to climate change.
But natural gas combustion isn’t just bad for Earth’s atmosphere. Researchers at the Rocky Mountain Institute, a nonprofit advocacy organization for sustainability,

Don't touch my stove or my central heating or water heater - all natural gas. These "people" are on a mission to take everything away from us and will not stop with the dooms days predictions to do it.

"Seals and other environmental experts would prefer no one uses gas, or any fossil fuel for any reason, ever again — and that mission begins at home.
“If we don’t take out the gas stove, we’ll still keep putting in gas pipelines,” Seals said. “We need to ensure that no new buildings that get built can run on gas.”
Yeah, their researchers all right! Bought and paid for by George Soros...

NPG is supposed to be the ideal eco-friendly fuel for public transportation. Every bus I have seen runs on it. If gas stoves are in the enviros’ crosshairs, what about all these natural gas-powered vehicles? The light bulb eliminated dangerous candles and oil-burning lamps as a source of illumination in our homes. Anal-retentive politicians did away with the lightbulb. There’s always something wrong with everything according to the dogma of the enviro-left. They are always on a never-ending mission to screw with our lives.

I heat with natural gas. It's nice and warm and not all that expensive as compared to electricity where I live. I like it and AOC and her busy bodies can go pound sand.

I live in Ecuador. I think it was 4 years ago that the crooked president, Correa, a socialist, and his controlled assembly tried to ban gas stoves, even offering money towards the purchase of electric stoves. It was a total bust. The people love their gas! Meanwhile, like Biden, Correa and his vice president, Jorge Glas, were found to have taken bribes and indulged in money laundering, a la Biden. Correa is hiding out in Belgium, but Glas is in prison.

I live in the country with a propane tank. Lived with an electric stove for 11 years out here when I found a great deal on a 5 burner stove w/ 2 door gas oven. Family gatherings are a breeze cause my MIL has oven envy and does all the cooking when she’s here. It took me forever to find someone who could convert the burners to propane but it was worth it

Just bought a new one and gas is sooo much better than electricity for cooking. A big plus is being able to cook during power outages.

The same nutjobs who would have you seal your house like a giant Tupperware container are now worried out what gets trapped inside.
When I first said that at some point the the left will dictate how and when you get to wipe your backside I was intentionally being hyperbolic, now I believe that given time they will actually get around to that.

I read four sentences and quit! There is NO evidence that CO2 is anything but beneficial to the environment.
Global warming is a farce, the globe is cooling. No one has a handle on what causes either, and no one can say what the ideal global temperature should be.
Personally, I would like a steady 82 degrees outdoors, with slight breezes. The only way I know of to get that would be to move to a South Sea island. Can any of these 'experts' tell me how to get to that here in north Texas?

I would like to know just how big the solar panel (s) would have to be to power an electric cookstove and furnace . It would take up most of the average yard ( if you are still allowed to own one).

My God! We’re all gonna die! Gas has been in use for maybe 100 years and now it has to go? This is alarmism from people practicing job security by thinking up ways to justify their existence. All this crap about
going electric is the shifting of energy use to the utilities who generate the needed kilowatts through fossil fuels since the environmentalists are against nuclear power. And no decent chef will want to use electric stoves in their restaurants because you cannot control the heat for cooking precisely. Stop listening to these people. They have no idea of what is going on the the real world.

These people won't be happy until all we serfs are back in rags, walking everywhere, wholly reliant on the largesse of our masters. But then they assume they wouldbe our masters.

I wish I could get gas/propane for cooking and heating, but it's logistically impossible at my house. I do have a large propane powered stand-by generator and a well, so I'm good. When the solar and windmills can't do the job, we'll be cooking over wood like our ancestors did.

Oh, so we’re supposed to use coal burning stoves just like those coal burning electric cars? “Environmentalists” have no idea how electricity is generated.

Lies and propaganda, pure and simple. They are trying to scare people into getting rid of their wonderful. superior, ultra-efficient gas stoves.
If you burn gas in a power plant and create electricity, the energy in the electricity represents about 30-35% of the energy that was in the gas, due to the inherent losses in the process. If you burn the gas in your stove, 100% of the energy in the gas is used to heat your food. The same thing is true of your water heater. The gas ones directly heat the water, the electric ones throw away at least two thirds of the heat to make electricity....which is then used to heat water. A gas furnace is similarly extremely efficient, modern units typically deliver 97% of the energy in the gas to your home.
They LIE. They are desperate to drive down gas demand. Don't let them do it. Gas is safe, gas is clean, gas if efficient, gas costs less money.
Electricity should never be used to provide heat when gas could be used because creating electricity involves losses in the machinery which are very wasteful of our precious energy resources. Use electricity for lighting, running electronics and similar things. All heat should be with gas, it is far more efficient. In areas with mild climates, heat pumps can be pretty effective, but do not work well in cold climates, are often less comfortable feeling with cooler 'heat output' air flow.

Better re-open some of those closed coal mines - people are switching to electric cooking!

Quid Pro Joe has promised to eliminate fossil fuels. That means my car is gone (gasoline and oil) and my house is gone (furnace, hot water heater, stove). Plus The Gray Groper is going to cancel my Trump tax cut. So if The Delaware Dunce wins I have no car, house, or wallet.

In 1977 I actually studied the difference. I chose natural gas, because it was abundant and less expensive. And, as I remember, it works better when lighting a cigarette.

Where are the millions of megawatts going to come from? Especially when they shut down fossil fuel power plants? How many windmills and solar panels would it take to power all the stoves in America? Where would they put them all, even if it would work?

I wish I had a gas stove. Much more precise to cook on. We have gas on the street but I would have to pay the utility for a tap then have a plumber run the line, buy a stove, etc. It gets expensive but I may just bite the bullet. Not only could I get the stove but gas logs as well. At almost 80, it's getting harder for me to bring in logs and build a fire.

I only read go the part "a nonprofit advocacy organization for sustainability" Sustainability being the catchphrase for Agenda 2030 was all I needed to read. I am so sick of the communist globalists.

They only want you to have things they can control. It wouldn't do to pull the plug on our electric grid and have people being able to cook and heat their houses. I am dead serious. This is why I installed a wood burning cook stove. It gets down to -40 in the winter here, one well placed EMP and my family is dead--unless I have a wood burning cook stove. They frown on those too, try to make it difficult--insurance, regulations. I guess too many of the rich and famous are partial to their fireplaces, thank goodness.

#22, also you would have the ability cook when power is out, which seems like it will be more common in the future, if California is a harbinger.

I have a natural gas line running down the highway on my property, could connect. But, it is 900 ft to the house, and would cost about $8,000 last time I checked to run the piping. A propane tank was already here when we purchased the place, so we have stuck with the propane, a good approximation of natural gas, functionally, a bit more expensive. I really like cooking with gas/propane. Current water heater is electric, will be replaced with propane when it is worn out.
Our cabin in Colorado mountains has propane cooking, propane refrigerator, propane hot water and a propane heater which is almost never used. We normally heat with wood there, but the propane may be more popular as we get older and chopping, splitting and fetching wood becomes more difficult.

Every one of these experts drinks DIESEL. Tons of it during their miserable lives. They would be dead without 'fossil' fuels, especially DIESEL. The average food item travels about 1500 miles from farms to processors to the shelves where these experts buy it. The trains and trucks that feed the experts run on DIESEL. I'm sure they have no idea that those freight train engines burn diesel to turn generators to drive the train. Every one of those experts uses hydrocarbon products derived from oil and gas. They consume or buy those products and services every single day. I am sick of the big lie and it is becoming obvious to many people, they intend to push this to the point of death. Ours or theirs.
