The rules are constantly being tweaked to appease the 0.01% at the expense of everybody else and it's getting a little frustrating.
I’d rather pay double for health insurance and die young than live in your perfect nanny state.
If the claims are true, it seems like gas stoves practice has negatively impacted the respiratory health of a substantial number of children who didn’t buy the stoves. If it was overwhelmingly adult purchasers and leaders being negatively affected, it would be one thing, but it seems like you would have significantly less paediatric asthma patients community wide if gas stoves were just banned or at least more stringently regulated.
There are very legitimate reasons to prefer gas stoves. They're not just in apartments because "LOL screw teh Poorz!!! Let them die of the ASTHMAS!!!"
Gas heats up considerably faster, allows for more rapid cooking temperature changes, is considerably cheaper to operate in many localities, and is actually relatively clean burning compared to most fossil fuels. Go see what any world class chef outfits their kitchens with. It's almost always gas.
There's an ulterior motive here. Why not just legislate that gas appliances be properly vented? Surely if gas stoves were as dangerous as they say the elites would not outfit their kitchens with them. None of this sudden war on gas appliances passes the smell test.
Resistive stoves are faster than gas though less responsive. Induction ranges beat the pants off both gas and resistive on basically all dimensions. The only thing induction can't do well is tasks that specifically involve an open flame ie charring pepper skins, the wok hei flavor, etc. Most of these can be reproduced by buying a $10 blow torch or using a propane grill instead.
But that's not for your regular home kitchen
Yes, that’s an example of a clear misunderstanding of what’s going on.
The signs are not causing deer to cross, and neither is the stove concern about aggravating asthmatics. Because yes, people who know they have asthma could get an electric stove if they want.
Plus it's not like people are likely to die because of lack of gas stoves, most likely the opposite because of potential safety features in induction.
I'm not sure how much regulation is appropriate here, but I sure wouldn't want to use gas every day by choice. It looks cool, but it's also pollution in your own house, and if anything goes wrong you might not be able to fix it yourself because of safety and legal requirements.
induction stovetops are faster and easier to clean anyway, my stovetop is playing up so i'm swapping from gas since it's just better tech anyway
