The first sentence gives away the game: “Tanuj Deora works in the energy industry - specifically to decarbonize energy systems. That’s the technical term for efforts to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.”
An article that’s supposed to make you feel good about your locality banning gas stoves and furnaces.
Like when the gas range dethroned wood stoves, yeah? /s
lulz
You can’t get as much heat from any kind of electrical stove as a gas stove. You can’t because physics!
Meanwhile, don’t tell them where the electricity comes from.
Good way to force people to comply by cutting off their electricity, so they have to eat raw or cold.
When I was a lad in New England, our gas stove heated our house when electrical outages killed the oil furnace during winter storms.
Pro no choice.
Except killing babies and if they could openly get away with killing old people they would.
I’ve never heard of an induction stove but I know you can get metal to some fierce temperatures quickly that way. Still, the whole thing is, it’s not scalable because without massive use of fossil fuels for generation, there won’t be enough electricity for millions of these and with all the millions of EVs charging away,
All gas appliances need to have their air/fuel ratio adjusted for altitude.
When we had our house built the stove area was plumbed for gas and wired for electric. When the gas stove died, we went for an electric, with a small upper oven and larger lower convection over. But the best part is the cook top which is induction, which is very slick.
There’s a huge difference between electric and induction cooktops. I just redid my kitchen and went with induction. My outdoor kitchen is propane. The induction is just as good, and actually heats up faster. Unlike regular glass electric cooktops, nothing burns onto it because the glass doesn’t heat up. The down side is that it’s glass, so you are always a little worried about breaking or scratching it. And they ain’t cheap.
GE makes one that takes a probe that makes your cooktop a sous vide cooker.
“I would get a headache whenever the gas was running,”
Try running the exhaust fan that most kitchens are equipped with.
All electric stuff quits when the power goes out; but at least with gas it’s always there.
Absolutely the worst idea ever! Don’t buy it!
What would Hank Hill say about your electric cookin'?
I looked into them. Good for small pots & pans but use more electricity than regular elec burners for larger pots & pans.
Flame rules.
Gas stoves are way better the author is just another climate nazi poser.
Not a chance.
Electric use will require electrical generation way beyond our abilities, given that Jane Fonda pushed pushed the United States out of Nuclear generation. With everybody recharging cars, using electric heat and electric stoves, and charging power tools, we have no way to generate that kind of power. Transmission lines will need to be beefed up. Everyone is listening to Biden and going at this whole hog without thinking. No way we can do this without getting into Nuclear generation. And no way unless we start right now enhancing our transmission capabilities. We better start or slow down the transition to electric power quite a bit.
I hate my electric stove. Can’t tip the pan sideways to finish the omelettes over the flame. Nothing bakes quite right, despite years of trial-and-error.
