Gas kitchen appliances, stoves and ovens

This is just the latest right wing outrage over something that isn't happening. Like "liberals banned my Big Gulp!"

Being completely dependent on electricity is enslavement.

You don't want this.

If the current grid can barely hold up...how do any of you expect it to hold together adding an insane amount of appliances and EVs to it?

When your heart is filled with hate, you don't care if you harm yourself and usually vote against your own well being. Such is life for some but it's amusing watching them suffer from their own poor life choices. Of course the elites will still be well fed and contempt when they shower you with highly paid middle to high class anchors to pour fake news so you fight amongst each other over petty squabbles. I can see why Tucker Carlson laughs so much. He isn't laughing at the news he reports but at the audiences stupidity to keep doing the work for him.

It's comical how quickly liberals swallow whatever bullshit they're fed, as long as it comes from the right place. They never met an impending environmental disaster they didn't go whole hog on.

The problem, my dear liberal retard friends, is that when you make a living out of lies, sane people stop believing you.

The leading contributors to preventable death in the US are smoking and obesity. I have a hard time accepting the sincerity or effectiveness of any desire to ban gas for health reasons while these factors are ignored.

What’s being proposed is a world without gas stoves, where someone can still smoke a pack of cigarettes a day or eat in such an unhealthy way as to cause obesity. Vaping is addictive, delivers dangerous levels of CO and has been heavily marketed to the youth. US food systems are terrible for the health of its people and the environment as well. There are so many changes the country could make that would have a much greater impact on our collective health. I don’t smoke, I rarely drink alcohol, I exercise regularly, and eat healthy. I prefer to cook with gas. Why is my unhealthy habit a problem while these enormous contributors are ignored?

Moviechatterer makes a valid point about the need to move away from fossil fuels. I agree that energy should eventually be distributed via electricity, but this talk about eliminating gas is premature. Massive investment in other sources of energy and the strengthening of our electrical grid should precede any ban on gas. A much better option in my opinion is to offer incentives to switch from gas through rebates or tax credits; it’s the same approach the country is taking with electric cars. I’m happy to pay more to use a gas stove, and if I’m alive by the time it’s practical to completely eliminate gas I can accept that too.

I grew up with an electric stove, not for any environmental reasons. When I got into cooking and started using gas stoves, it was like night and day. Gas gives you more control. I would miss gas but would take the hit for the environment.

Magnetic induction plates are the only alternative I've used that can grill a steak just as well as a gas stove. Maybe that's the compromise, electric stoves come with induction plates.
