I never knew some washer/dryer units run on gas

[Anonymous]

We have Gas stove but electric run washer/dryer. I never realized some homes have Gas for the washer and dryer units.

How does it work? Does your washer/dryer unit run hotter than it would with electric?

What. It all runs at a preset temp. Did you just move out of your parent's house?

It’s typically just a lot less expensive to run, that’s why people install them. But as far as I know, it’s just the dryer, not the washer that runs on gas.

Correct. My dryer is gas. Gas dryers are more energy efficient and less expensive to operate than electric dryers.

It’s just the dryer.

HORRIBLE!

We are in a climate crisis, people! Gas appliances are causing it.

You really need to get all gas appliances out of your house as soon as possible!!

This is true. Especially gas stoves:

They are unethical, as well as very dangerous.

Correct. My dryer is gas. Gas dryers are more energy efficient and less expensive to operate than electric dryers.

Gas dryers are worse for the climate at this point.

The picture is muddy. The electricity is generated by gas so it's all fossil fuel generated, no matter how you slice it. Supplying electric power is inefficient. Electric dryers pull a lot of current. There are arguments that state that gas dryers contribute less CO2 than electric dryers to the environment. I don't know about that. I just know that its not clear cut.

If you want to help the environment get one with a heat pump.

Unless you're my neighbor with a roof of solar panels that generate enough energy for them month-over-month. They switched out the gas dryer to electric for this reason. (Not a cheap experience, but worth it.)

No price is too high to pay to avoid the inevitable crisis-climate disaster.

That just isn’t true. Haven’t you seen seen all the solar panels on roofs?

Plus, huge windmills way out in the sticks. My daughter took pictures out the window while going on a ski trip. Things are huge! They must generate plenty.

And Niagara Falls - doesn’t it make lots of energy.?

Some people are really on the anti-gas bandwagon because it became a meme starting a few years ago. Good lord, get a break.
