Over the past three years, dozens of cities across the country have banned natural gas hookups in newly constructed buildings as part of a growing campaign to reduce carbon emissions from homes. The movement scored a major victory last month, when New York City’s outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law a ban on gas hookups in new buildings. Though new laws apply to the entire home, the policy debate often focuses on one room in particular: the kitchen. Gas stoves account for a relatively small share of the emissions released by a typical household, but they’ve become a

Have you ever been to a restaurant that used an electric range? Gas is cheaper and does a better job. I hate that this country is turning into a police state.

Electric stoves, furnaces, water heaters and cars. All power hungry loads on a grid that’s already marginal due to windmills and solar shingles. What could go wrong? Do Bernie, Brandon, AOC etc. have electrical engineering degrees?

Anyone talked to any chefs or restaurateurs? Gas IS how restaurants cook anything outside an oven. Also, many ethnic cuisines use gas specifically. Try getting a good quality stir fry or fried rice without it. Those special gas hobs in Chinese restaurants are gas fueled and hot as blast furnaces. Electric just can't get it done.

We would have to go with propane then. There are homes outside the city limit with propane tanks. Expect the Dems to ban outdoor barbecues and other propane-powered hook-ups, soon

Next step will be banning women from having more than 1 child.
Sounds like China.

There is so much dishonesty in the media, I don’t believe the cited negatives for gas stoves. I have used gas and electric stoves. Believe me gas stoves are far superior AND safer. Answer me,how is the electricity generated. Not wind, not solar panels, try internal combustion engines. The green ways each have serious issues.

Sooner or later there are going to be serious shortages of electricity in the United States. The shortages in Texas during February of 2021 are a small preview. People who are required to use electric stoves are not going to appreciate that they were not allowed to choose natural gas. Politicians will assume no responsibility.

Electricity for homes comes from gas fired power plants. Less gas in homes means more gas needed for gas powered electric power plants.
Advocates cannot be this stupid and this proves they have an energy agenda Americans don't want.
This is how oppressive government works.

Single source for heating, water and cooking? One good ice storm and you will sit in the dark shivering and hungry. You could drive to the next state but your electric car won't get you very far.
Gas is a waste product. Use it. Morons listening to morons who never took a physics class.

I've noticed that the people that scream the loudest about common folks polluting the atmosphere, have their private jets and gas powered limos.

We need to ban gas bag politicians like De Blasio rather than gas stoves.

I hate to cook on electric - I burn stuff. Besides, if the electric goes out, there is some heat from a gas / propane stove and you can still cook.

I greatly prefer a gas stove. From the original source of energy....the natural gas, they are about 100% efficient. Electric stoves ......suffer in that the creation of electricity wastes about 65% of the energy in the gas, or coal. Then more electricity is lost in the transmission process. Perhaps 25% of the energy in the original source, gas, coal or whatever....is actually used to heat your food.
Horribly wasteful.
And CO2 is a beneficial plant growth requirement. More is better.
