This seems to be the latest green craze: banning gas in kitchens. Completely ridiculous since cooking uses very little gas and 100% of the energy is usable heat. (Power generation is only 50% efficient and then there are transmission losses and the induction circuitry wastes some).
Microwaves are said by these folks to be efficient too but they aren’t. My 1000 watt unit actually draws 1700 watts so 42% is wasted.

People who actually like to cook will just install propane in these jurisdictions but it’s less “green” than natural gas.

I used propane for years in a rural place, no complaints.

even the oven worked OK at 5700’
