Cooking on a gas stove is bad

There is NO RIGHT to own a gas stove!

You are a selfish a$$ hole.

And you are a narcissistic, venom-choking millennial ruining our body politic, assuredly abusing the environment in countless other ways, whilst taking photos of your food and hurling nasties online allowed reproductive autonomy and sundry to be yanked away because you are swimming deep in your slacktivism instead of voting. Next!

I do have to wonder if the poster you responded to is trolling. Who really cares so much about banning gas stoves to call others evil for demurring?

I find this gas stove banning a weird, almost cult-like fixation among some people that has little logic to it. But that is also a phenomena one sees behind much of the cultural left's lockstep attitudes towards banning things.

You would hope, except that I know people like this in real life, in my super liberal/progressive home of Montgomery County.

Plenty of hypocrites like this who want to control other people.

You will pry my gas stove out of my cold, dead, poisoned hands.

That’s the real reason they must be banned.

This is a load of bunk. The last time someone brought this up, I read the studies. Saying they’re “thin” would be a compliment. The “childhood asthma” study admits up from that they didn’t control for any other factors, and if you look at the results, the correlation was much stronger for economic & regional factors. Combined with previous studies showing a direct correlation with roach infestations and childhood asthma, all that study did was, once again, provide evidence that lower income children have a higher incidence of asthma.

The study that measured particulates did so in a specially sealed room with zero ventilation. No one cooks in a room like that. The people measuring the air quality while they are cooking also turn off their ventilation hoods to do so. And not one of these “studies” compares the particulate emissions of cooking on an electric stove (much of which is from cooking food, not the burning of the gas). When I’m cooking at my gas stove with the vent hood going full blast, I can’t even smell what I’m cooking. There’s no way it’s filling my home with particulates, and definitely no more so than if I were cooking at an electric stove.

Finally, burning gas directly for heat is a more efficient use of the energy source than converting the gas to electricity (with efficiency losses), shipping it over tens to hundreds of miles (with attendant line losses) and converting it to heat on a range.

If you want to eliminate the use of fossil fuels for other reasons, say so, but coming up with bogus “health effects” only discredits your cause.

+1/ and we are installing gas. Every chef knows who want to cook on gas. This really isn't debatable

When are you going to make the switch?

Renovating the kitchen next year - will make the switch. I’m sad, loved cooking on gas, but I can’t argue with the data! Oh well. Funny that we switched from wood burning fireplace to gas for the same reason, but it’s all vented, so I guess(hope) it’s all good.

You can argue with the data bc it’s junk science. If your fireplace is ok bc it’s vented, your gas stove is ok bc it’s vented too. Buy a bigger vent fan if you’re concerned.

This is such a stupid issue..

Absolutely!

And, increasing the electrical load will only cause us to phase out coal fired plants more slowly.

I think this whole campaign is being driven by electric utilities.

It has all the earmarks of an astro turf.

I'm a liberal but it's shocking that it's blue states banning gas. On this point I am solidly red - gas is not a problem. No way we went though all these years if it was. I truly think people are taking this woke attitude to the extreme. People need to take a breath and realize that there's a lot bigger issues than gas stoves to ban!!!!

FINALLY!

DC’s Attorney General is prioritizing the public safety issues that matter most, and working on banning gas stoves:

Gas stoves could cause a fire, which is why they are a safety hazard and must be banned.

Democrat “15 min cities” will eventually eliminate cars, except for the uber elites, of course.

Tell billions of Asians they're 'gassy idiots', you racist POS ethnocentric scum.


How is it that billions upon billions of Asian people use extremely intense gas stoves for cooking every single day of the year yet there isn't an epidemic of cancer, asthma, etc. in Asia.

The whole ban gas stoves to save the children thing is so stupid.

Go watch food video blogs in YouTube that show you the amount of gas Asian establishments burn while cooking with a wok.

I feel like I wandered into an extremely dysfunctional group therapy session.

Backing away slowly... have fun, folks.
