    Gas stoves, gas heat are cheaper to use than massively expensive electric heat and electric stoves. Keep your miserable hands off of what we do in our private homes/apartments.

      100% agree!

    m this discussion is the idea of system resiliency. The electric grid is a massive infrastructure and prone to periodic failures (either as a whole, or in sections). This can and does happen frequently with major storms.

    Having a non-electric based major appliance that can provide hot food is a huge advantage in a major winter storm. The contribution of gas stoves to carbon/greenhouse emissions is miniscule to the point of zero. The lack of backup/resiliency by not allowing New Yorkers other options than 100% reliance on grid/electric is, however, much more likely to actually harm people and make life unnecessarily miserable.

    The same goes for pushing “all electric” cars. Next major storm, would you rather have a car with a tank of gas or a dead battery sitting in your garage, and you trapped in your home until “the grid” goes back on?

    Q: How will the electricity to power these new electric stoves be generated?
    A: Coal.

    Nothing speaks to the insanity of “climate laws” more than the ridiculous banning of natural gas stoves.

    This is absolutely ridiculous the government has to leave us ordinary people alone. When people have a choice they choose gas stoves if you have an asthma problem then that is up to you not to use one isn’t it? not to stop everybody else on Earth from using it
