Ban gas stoves?

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Cheap energy is freedom…

This. The top one percent of the top one percent figured out a long time ago that controlling energy gave them control of everything else.

I'm not sure I could ever go back to cooking on an electric stove. I grew up with one and have had gas pretty much since I moved out of my parents' house. Gas is so much easier to control the heat. I should probably utilize the top of the wood stove more than I do.

After hearing this, I'm tempted to go out and buy a gas range. I need to get my gas run to the kitchen, which I never really considered until now, but it may be time to look into.

But think of all the suicides that'll be prevented!

Great, lets start with this one Joe.

My electric heating bill was $1400/mo. Gas heating bill runs $250/mo at most.

Electric is expensive.

certainly such laws will not apply to the first lady, rich connected people, etc. just the little people.

The "issue" is the small amount of NO2 generated when hydrocarbons combust in atmosphere, where the nitrogen is contributed. You get it really any time you start a fire. There's various studies out that say this can contribute to asthma.

Speaking from an industrial chemical background, it sounds like fear mongering and regulations to generate money for a few at the expense of many. I saw the stoves being referred to as "racist" today, as there are numbers out that say the stoves are more popular with poor minorities.

Racist stoves injuring minority children, sound the big media trumpets.

But coal burning electric generation has no affect on asthma in this nation?

The argument will be circulated by the supporters of this regulation that electrical generating plants using fuel burning for power have equipment to reduce the emission of the various oxides of nitrogen produced. When you burn something in an atmosphere that has a lot of nitrogen in it, like ours, you just get oxides of nitrogen regardless.

The nature of this regulation makes me think somebody has a new expensive gadget to attach to gas appliances and has paid handsomely in dc to force it on to the American public. A similar deal got started in 2006 with catalytic converters for lawn mowers that collapsed in the recession of 08.

The little Trumpka has probably spent a lot of evenings at Black Whiskey and Mortons in dc learning about the benefits of this new gadget over beluga sandwiches washed down with Van Winkles.

Always follow the money.

Didn’t we just recently achieve energy independence because of natural gas?

And where does this electricity come from?

I don’t understand why we can’t agree to build like a 1000 Nuclear power plants.

Have SpaceX agree to shoot the crap into the Sun.

Powers all the Teslas, and everything else.

All waste is handled.

Cheap energy.

Can’t have that…

Nuclear energy (if done without crazy government overreach) is cheap, safe, and reasonable. The leftist authoritarians don't want people to have cheap energy. While the environmentalist elite travel on private planes, the rest of us are supposed to grovel for every kWh and BTU.

And gas stoves provide the best cooktops. So of course the left is banning them, just like they ban everything else useful. We must sacrifice all nice things to their made-up environmental god.

I have one, that's why I know it's only $250/mo at worst. I believe fully variable and 97~98% efficient? It's been a minute since I had it installed.

There may, or may not have been, a gas stove and oven, utilized in the preparation of today's breakfast.

I just happened to find a nice gas stove in the lake.

Believe it or not  induction has better control than gas, and without all the list heat flowing up the sides of the cooking vessel. You can even but those as a counter top / portable unit.

The DRs response to AOC has me

AOC Raked Over Coals by Actual Doctor After Saying Gas Stoves Are Linked to Brain Damage

AOC thought she had owned a Republican by appealing to "science", but then the former White House physician delivered a devastating comeback.

BAN ELECTRIC STOVES!

"Households that use electric ranges have a higher risk of cooking fires and associated losses than those using gas ranges. Although 60 percent of households cook with electricity four out of five (80 percent) ranges or cooktops involved in reported cooking fires were powered by electricity. Population-based risks are shown below,

• The rate of reported fires per million households was 2.6 times higher with electric ranges.
• The civilian fire death rate per million households was 3.4 times higher with electric ranges.
• The civilian fire injury rate per million households was 4.8 times higher with electric ranges than in households using gas ranges.
• The average fire dollar loss per household was 3.8 times higher in households with electric ranges."

Sorry, nope. You can't pressure can on induction. And yes we actually do pressure can.

I have a natural gas electric generator to provide electricity during government brown outs, I figure that is the next ban on the agenda, that gives them total control of our personal comforts.

I'm still p*ssed about government dictating the capacity of a toilet tank, now this.
