Get rid of your gas stove
Gas stoves leak climate-warming methane even when they're off
A new study finds tiny leaks from loose fittings added up to more emissions than when stoves were in use. The impact on climate change amounts to the same effect as a half-million cars.
I think I give off more methane than my gas stove.

Given how cold it's been this winter we could use a little climate warming.

No chance that I'd ever go back to an electric stove.

If your fittings are leaking, you're going to get a lot of warming in your house.

Yeah, if you have leaky fittings you have much bigger and more immediate problems than climate change.

Well, Gas burners, for more precise heat. But Electric oven for baking.
Wife is scared of a Gas oven.

I don't like cooking on electric burners, so we have a gas oven with the 4 burners, and I really prefer our electric wall oven for the small stuff like pizzas and casseroles.

How do those taste?
All I know is they weren't anemic.

I had to live with an electric cooktop for a few years. It sucked!
A propane cooktop is the only way to go.

If you use natural gas, it could get expensive. NG was up over 30% TODAY! Somebody made a hat full of money.

My wife has had them all over the years and I believe that if she could just have one, she would take her countertop induction hotplate over the rest. Her stainless set works with induction and she uses cast iron quite a bit as well.

What is so bad about global warming? Tonight we get 12 degrees and 5 inches of snow. Coldest winter in years. I wish the globe would warm up a little.

Weil-McLain 1966 vintage gas furnace. Have replaced B&G series 100 circulator and White Rogers gas valve one time about 12 years ago. Most of my neighbors have replaced furnace 2/3 times in this time frame.
Five huge cast iron water jackets and burners with stainless ribbon assemblies. I clean flue collector and reseal every 2/3 years and scrub between water jackets with wire brush. Clean ribbon assemblies in burners each year. Oil circulator and drain expansion tank. Two pipe hydronic/radiator system.
About 25 years ago built extra bedroom 14x20 upstairs and used base board in loop. One whole wall. Never could get enough heat so cut it out and left pipes buried in floor. Removed one radiator from other bedroom that was overkill and installed in new bedroom. Works great. I always bleed upstairs radiators a couple times in heating season.
Probably not most efficient system out there but when it is cold out there i stay warm. Real nice to take my warm stocking hat and gloves off top of radiator on a day like today or dry a wet jacket. Furnace owes me nothing and I am more worried about what do i replace it with than the gas it burns------------------------------------Ray
PS: By the way, its not the price of the gas that is a problem, its the damn delivery charge that the crook O&R charges.

It seems that less and less people eat at home. For some it wouldn't matter what type of stove they have. I wonder how only electric/microwave etal cooking would affect the Restaurant Industry.

If I had a gas range, I'd demand to know exactly how much effect it would have on the climate if I switched.
If they can't tell me, or if it is some number with 27 zeroes behind the decimal point, I'll politely tell them to sell that snake oil somewhere else.

Remembering an old jingle "America is cooking with GAS" along with "America is leaning on BEEF"
This is THE America I live in still today!

Leaking fittings are a problem with lackadaisical and or irresponsible owners: not a problem with gas stoves.
