Nationwide gas stove ban?

If this happens people will riot the capitol again guaranteed. A lot more BS. The same as them trying to ban dairy farming due to cow gas.

"The studies also linked gas stoves to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer​ and other health conditions.​"

But god forbid you ban drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol right?


They are grasping at straws trying to control the population because the "cars cause pollution" gimmick did not work.
 
And electric does not pollute? What the!!! I can't see this happening my whole house is gas, water heater, furnace, dryer, stove and oven. We have plenty of gas in OK. Will the Biden Administration replace my gas appliances? A gas oven and gas log inserts are very nice to have during a power outage.

Our current Admin is so far removed from reality, it's not funny! I'm sorry but that is the way I feel.
 
I cook every day on my five-burner industrial GAS stove. You couldn't give me an electric stove. The worst are those flat top ones. My husband's parents have one and I HATE cooking at their home. My cast iron pans are too heavy for the glass top and I cook way too much like a chef, shaking the pan and tipping it when spooning butter over a sizzling steak. They will never really ban gas appliances in the US.
 
I have a gas furnace, gas logs, and a gas grill, all connected to natural gas and not propane; however I do have an electric, glass top stove and an electric dryer. As a college professor who teaches critical thinking, the idea of banning gas stoves, and the furor it appears to be creating seems to be based on the logical fallacy of predicting the most dire outcome as the only (il)logical conclusion when other more reasonable possibilities also exist. Realistically, the most likely scenario would be to implement improved ventilation standards for new installations. I have little doubt that existing stoves would be grandfathered in.

After all, when the government began mandating emission controls (unleaded gas, catalytic converters, etc.) for cars in the mid '70s, they didn't ban earlier model cars that were not thus equipped, nor did they even require them to be retrofitted; in fact, the law accommodated those vehicles by allowing the availability of leaded gasoline to continue for another 15 years or so, until the majority of those cars were no longer on the road.
 
I have a whole-gas house also and love it. At least until the cost of gas surpassed electricity last year... Regardless, it was nice to have a heat source when the power failed. I could at least keep warm and have hot meals and hot water.

"Nothing warms you like gas" is a true slogan from one of the big gas associations - very efficient and clean burning. Easy to cook and heat with it, too.

One thing that should be banned are those stupid range hoods that just semi-filter and recirculate the air inside. Vent it outside - the right way!
Most, if not all of the pollutants are from what is cooked and how, not the fuel. Those who often burn stuff should learn to do better.

My mom has been cooking with gas her whole life. Her 60 year house she bought new still has the original oven and cooktop and both still fire cleanly. The popcorn ceiling is still white and nothing stinks. She knows how to cook well and does it a lot. She rarely eats out.
I had put a CO detector in her kitchen 8 years ago and it never registered anything, even when doing the Thanksgiving dinners. I had to put the thing IN the oven a short time to see if it actually worked. When it expired, it was never replaced.

This scare is just another dumb desire by someone who is not a scientist, who wants to make a long-lasting stain on the country. I doubt this stove ban will ever happen. Even if it did, it would be done like light bulbs - no more gas units are made or installed, you keep using what you have. (I still use my watt-suckin' incandescents!)

Anyone remember the push of the 'Gold Medallion' homes in the 50s-70's?
They were all electric homes, to help rid the pollution of coal and wood and oil. It was one of the biggest gooberment campaigns ever but it had substance back then since those fuels were dirty. It also helped get big power generation stations built and online.
This sounds like a similar push, but it seems like natural gas also produces most electricity now, which is CLEAN. It makes no good sense now (unless to pad pockets of electric companies).

There are some big new homes going up near me that use gas only for the tankless water heaters and heatalator fireplaces. The kitchens are all electric. Heatpumps with electric backup are used. The range hoods ARE vented outside - one good improvement.
Of course, since all those appliances are electrically controlled, they will not work in a power outage.
There is a lot of cost cutting in houses, too - I would not want a new one unless I spec'ed it completely.

Progress is being made backwards, as usual. We really need some better people in office. Like Now...

So go ahead and keep using your gas cooking appliances, and enjoy them. Just don't burn anything, lol...
 
I totally agree about the range hoods. Building codes should require them to be vented to the outside. My house has one of those that blows back in your face. I never turn the thing on, since it does absolutely nothing but make noise. The really irksome part is that it originally had a vented one and a previous owner got rid of it when they remodeled sometime in the '80s. Looking at the roof, it appears the vent duct is still present and intact, and I can see where the hole in the kitchen ceiling was patched over when they redid the cabinets. I've been in that house almost nine years, but one of these days, I'm going to get someone to come in and reconnect the vent. It would most likely be worth the expense and the loss of a certain amount of cabinet space.
 
I had every plan to hook mine up to the outside decades ago, as the hood would allow it (despite its low airflow). The pipes and the roof cap are in the attic.
However I never got into cooking so I never found it worth the time and effort to do it.
My next house WILL have it done properly though, and a quality hood as well.. I do plan to start cooking when I retire and have the time...
 
Right back at ya John that they will indeed still work whenever there's a power outage. That's why my grandmother wanted a gas stove in the first place because the small little town they were living at in Utah, the power goes out a ton especially during the winter. Unfortunately for my other grandparents, theirs's has always been electric. At least from when I had been around since they might've had a gas stove at one point. So they have an electric stove at not only their house but also at their log cabin as well. During Thanksgiving, we tried to clean their stove out at the cabin. I don't think it had ever been deep cleaned before when it was put in back in 2004. But boy we tried scrubbing all we could out of that stove with baking soda and most just wouldn't come off.

This is just more propaganda to make this administration look bad.

There are no way gas cooking appliances will be a thing of the past. However, often times during power outages and storms many folks either die or become ill from the carbon dioxide produced from using the gas stove as a heat source without proper ventilation.

I think since being on this forum this subject has come up many times. It also comes up on Automatic Washer.

There are so many false reports and lies out there it is unbelievable. Electric is always a cleaner source of energy and now with wind power and solar it truly is cleaner.

Personally, right now I don't have a gas stove but do have a gas dryer, two furnaces and a water heater that is gas. when I first moved to Dubuque, I was sad to see that there was not a gas hookup for a stove. We have been cooking on a smooth top electric for the past 18 years and I love it.

The world needs to wake up and become more energy efficient getting away from fossil fuels that are destroying our planet. Wind energy, solar and water can help cut down on the use of fossil fuels immensely. I am waiting for the day when wind turbines can be purchased more affordably so I can run our home on the energy produced by the wind.
 
We always had a gas stove here

after the 'coal stove'.


My aunt has a smooth glass cook top. To clean it, I bought "Barkeeper's Friend" cooktop cleaner in a BOTTLE. It's a gray bottle. One squirt and it cleans the top perfectly.  A little elbow grease on a spot, but...................


 You might care to try it.


  Works for me.
 
This actually came from the university of Berkeley in California, which was then dug up by the USCPSC and had nothing to do with the president, until some lawmakers started pushing it along with the USCPSC gaslighting (haha pun) the white house.

I think it stems from the recent bill that Biden passed, buried in it somewhere is laws for regulating industrial energy consumption and i think something with gas stoves and restraunts were mentioned in the gist of fossil fuels and air pollution.

I think all it means is gas stoves will be built to regulations (read: make them weaker) on the same level as HE washers and low flow toilets that take about 3 hours to accomplish your task.
