The real reason they want to ban gas stoves: climate change

 The push to electrify everything is going full speed ahead, at the same time that our grid is getting less reliable and losing base load capacity. Brownouts/planned blackouts have plagued multiple grids in the country in recent months, and the electrification of the transportation industry threatens to overload the system even more.

Yet the Biden Administration, the Climate Change fanatics, and some “public health” folks are pushing for the banning of gas stoves on some shaky evidence that they cause asthma.

OK. Whatever. We’ve been using gas stoves for generations, and just about every restaurant uses them with cooks standing over them for hours at a time, but whatever. If safety is your concern, what do the stats say?

Yet while electric stoves may be better for the environment, a report by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) presents a significant con for electric — a safety hazard that has households across America seeing red.

According to a 2020 report by the NFPA, households with electric stoves reported fires at a rate 2.6 times higher than those with gas stoves. Equally staggering, the death rate of electric-run households was 3.4 times higher than those with gas appliances — and the injury rate was nearly five times greater.

As the old saying goes. Sometimes you just can’t correct stupid. These people that come up with ideas like this have no common sense. And they fear everything that goes on in the world.
