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.

Since when do "health experts" have any enhanced understanding about climate change than any other random yahoo who gets their agit/prop from the idiot media?
ReplyDeleteYou know its not about that. What it is about is making this into a health crisis. By such means will they then be able to CONTROL the people.
DeleteIf this gets traction, we should expect to be shamed for using cooking gas.
...and what is this "global climate change" everybody is talking about?
DeleteIs it kinda like reported COVID deaths? Or Biden's 37 point lead in the polls? Or Republican militia violence?
No gas appliances in the future? That's just ducking fucky, plan on adding to an already overloaded electrical grid. If the wind dies or a cloud comes over when you are cooking dinner the backing fossil-fueled plants have to pick up the load.
ReplyDeleteNo, electric heating is NOT more efficient than gas, in fact it is FAR less energy-efficient. The BEST combined-cycle gas/steam turbine systems are 61% efficient, then factor transmission losses and you are down closer to 55%. So, 2x the initial energy to do the same task.
Do these dumbasses not know about propane tanks for on-site storage?
Dear Health and Environmental Experts,
ReplyDeleteYou can either pay my 30¢ per KwH PG&E bill or you can go screw yourselves. Take your pick.

"They" used to shut down domestic gas to prevent suicides before The Trucks came. Or, to shut down any possibility of a gas/air explosion. Or, a scorched earth approach. One of those, anyway. Where/when was Warsaw? Devil doesn't like having his minicock burnt twice?
ReplyDeletePay lawmakers, and they will never stop making new laws. Therein lies the problem. Fire them all. Every last one.
ReplyDeleteYou misspelled "hang"
Deletemeanwhile, on this side of the lake, I've read that those who know what's best for us are going to shut down gas some time in the future. They, of course have quoted all the usual bollox to scare us into going along quietly. I suspect that the real reason is that we're buying too much gas from the evil Russians because the much vaunbted North Sea reserves can't cope.
ReplyDeleteWhat would we do without "experts" They can all FOAD as far as I'm concerned. A diploma from SJW University is meaningless to me.
ReplyDeleteMy heat and cooking are fueled by nat. gas. Forcing me to change over to electric will increase my energy bill by about 3X, not to mention the cost of purchasing a new stove and the installation cost of electric baseboard in each room and the heavy duty wiring to support the baseboard, I'm figuring about twenty grand.
ReplyDeleteThey can issue what ever edicts they think they'll get away with. The problem then becomes who's going to enforce the edict, same as gun confiscation? I don't believe that the courts will allow these proposed rules to take effect on existing homes. I also don't believe that the courts will allow the gas to be turned off either.
See, this is what happens when you have elected and unelected Communists making the rules for the rest of us to live by.

50% of the population is stupider than average.
ReplyDeleteAnd they all vote liberal.
We will see tomorrow night won't we?
DeleteNow the sons of bitches want to not only tell me what to eat but also how to cook it.
ReplyDeleteIn a lot of places they would be getting rid of gas to cook with electricity from coal plants. Hmmmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteOne of the issues that's on the ballot, that's not on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of renting out the second garage bay when I got rid of the old car and cleaned it out; but I think I'll start stockpiling bags of charcoal and propane instead.
You will not touch my gas stove! Imbeciles
ReplyDeleteSo they don't want you using gas but what they'll not say is 80% of electricity is generated using natural gas. So why fuck with it if it's not broken.
ReplyDeleteAlso, been my experience electric heating and cooking is much more expensive than gas.
I don't care about your goofy weather religion. I'll keep my gas stove. BFYTW.
ReplyDeleteMy town is powered by a coal plant. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhen we start racking the bodies we'll have an abundance of methane. Modern problems require modern solutions.
ReplyDeleteOne of the Seattle City Commissars, uh I mean council members want to ban gas-piping systems in newly constructed homes and buildings.
ReplyDeleteSo far they have been met with resistance from the building and energy sectors....for now.
CO2 is about 0.02% of the atmosphere not the total bs figures being quoted by the pto green loons. Climate change is a natural cycle not man made.
ReplyDeleteIt's all part of the AGW/CO2/Great Reset/Agenda 21/Agenda 2030 (all the same thing in reality) planned Marxist/Communist style revisioning of human society. It will fail but that won't stop them trying.
I trust that sums it all up for everyone ☺
First it was wood stoves, then fireplaces, now it's gas stoves. What's next gas furnaces? m
ReplyDeleteMaybe they want us all to huddle together like cattle for warmth and save this God forsaken planet!
That's one thing I covet almost as much as my guns. Not gonna happen. I like to cook, and I've cooked a lot with 'lecticity and one can work with it, but gas is the gas! That's a scat term for the kids.
ReplyDeleteSixty years ago gas cooking was viewed as for the poor people, then later it became the rage, now it seems to be getting shoved back into the dog house. Some things never change.
ReplyDeleteAny time you convert energy from one form to another, you lose some of that energy in the form of heat. So, when you burn coal or oil or natural gas to generate electricity, the conversion is not 100%. Therefore, when you cook with electricity, you are causing more carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere than if you were cooking with gas. The same is true of these electric cars. Sure, you might have no tailpipe emissions, but you still had to burn fossil fuels to generate the electricity which is then converted to mechanical energy, with an additional energy loss in the form of heat. You green assholes aren't saving a damned thing.
ReplyDeleteIt has never been about "Saving" anything. It is all about control. Even the taxes on all energy is about control.
DeleteThere you go again, thinking facts matter to these assholes.
DeleteYou can't fact a guy out of a position that he didn't fact himself into.
Here in Oregon, all the rage du jour is 'bio-mass digesters'.
ReplyDeleteHow do they create electricity?
* First, you grow a tree for sixty years.
* Next, you hire loggers with heavy equipment to build roads into the wilderness.
* Next, those loggers use heavy equipment to cut and transport the tree.
* At the bio-mass digester factory, that tree is pulverized.
* Then, that tree is burned to create a fraction of a second's worth of juice to run your microwave.
That was the first part of the process.
Next, crews re-plant the wilderness with a Genetic Modified Organism resembling a 'tree', but is not a tree.
Are you seeing the results of a university education?
Bless their hearts.
