Hehe gas stoves! Do you honestly think Biden wants to ban them? Will the culture wars never end?

Personally, I'm happy to see them go! I'm one of the wok-erati who has a sleek beast of a wok that can crisp my tofu in seconds, while my Fairtrade quinoa is steamed to perfection on the faintest whisper of inducted heat.

But what about you? Is it God, Guns, and Gas, as Jim Jordan said? (or surely oil barrels filled with wood that you felled with your bare hands)?🤣

Biden is the tip of the spear, of a movement that aims to give our children, their children, and the following generations, a such at life in a clean planet. It's really that simple. This is why I support this effort. I recently switched from gas appliances, to electric. Our power, in the Northwest of the USA, is mostly hydro.

@Northwest there’s not even any concrete plans in evidence but already some right wing chefs are filming themselves chained to their gas stoves (despite chaining themselves the wrong way round 🫢). I applaud Biden’s efforts; they will succeed

@Northwest the anti abortion crowd is all about giving those "saved babies" breathing ailments that will affect their entire lives.
And just the idea that the blood sucking, planet poisoning, government subsidized, price gouging, world power that is the fosil fuel industry, might be affected, is more than they can take.
Most of those morons likely have electric stoves.

Ha!! These pigs that are squealing about this don’t cook, they go to Burger King and McDonalds all week and KFC on Sunday, and before now hated gas appliances. Same squealing piggies were hypochondriacs clogging up the doctors offices begging for any vaccine they could get prior to 2016😂 Stop The Squeal 🐷.
Carla · 61-69, F
@BackyardShaman "stop the squeal"🤣
deadgerbil · 22-25, F
It's so silly how gas stoves symbolize freedom now. It's just like ICE cars vs electric ones and how people are all upset that electric cars are growing in popularity. They see replacing ICE cars as an attack on their identity

@butterflybaby75 Any government in the world could eliminate the barriers between the haves and the have nots by simply phasing out the billions upon billions of subsidies they pay every year toward supporting the fossil fuel industry (which is making ASTRONOMICAL proftits as a result), and switching them instead to supporting renewables.

Although subsidised, renewable energy receives nothing like, not even close to the levels of government funding that the fossil fuel industry receives. Subsidising renewables to the same level as fossil fuels would revolutionise PV panel uptake, supercharge the EV revolution and cause the cost of electricity to plummet and the cost of gas and oil to skyrocket.

Governments could facilitate this switch. However, in general, they do not choose to.

@butterflybaby75 lol...wut?
@butterflybaby75 If only vaccinated people spread COVID, how did it spread before the vaccine existed? Be careful thinking of an answer, you don’t want to injure yourself .
i think if you wanna use an electric stove, great....... if you wanna gas stove, thats cool too....... if you want to cook over an open fire, awesome....... you do you, i will do me. its your personal choice and it is mine.
@LeopoldBloom yep, sure am. if folks wanna have an abortion, go for it.
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Of course, it has to be legal first.
I agree completely. We don’t need overpopulation. And abortion helps to thin the herd. @LeopoldBloom

I mean not everybody can afford electric stoves, so I think it's wrong to just ban gas stoves, this is gonna affect mostly poor people who just have the bare minimum of household appliances and who can't afford electric stoves. I respect everybody's rights to own whatever kind of stove they want, I really don't care what stove is in your house. I have an electric stove, but I still think it's wrong to do. Just another way of these psychopathic control freaks trying to control everyone's life and telling us what we can and cannot have in our own homes, our own lives, etc. Like what, is Biden gonna have swat teams raid people's homes now to steal everyone's gas stove? Thinking about it now, it wouldn't surprise me. The people who cannot afford an electric stove in their apartment or house or whatever are definitely just resort to burning wood as an alternative, and that isn't exactly the best option, either. Calling it right now.
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
@SW-User Yeah I don't really trust any time the government tries to step in and tell us what's good or not good for anyone's public health, if I'm being honest. Have you seen the ridiculous new food pyramid they made up and lying to people saying this is healthier for you than this other thing? Trying to tell people a bowl of lucky charms, just a bowl full of pure sugar, is better for you than a plate of bacon and eggs, yeah I'm just not buying it. I'll decide what's good or not good for myself, thank you, cuz I'm an adult. Sorry, just I'm not very trusting.
SW-User
@IWasCallingYaLarry Food and pollution are two very different things, but no matter :)
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
@SW-User Yes I know. But what I am saying is I don't trust any time the government comes out and tries telling us what is or isn't good for us. We're grown adults and can decide for ourselves what we do. I know stupid people exist, sure. But everybody else can decide what to do for themselves. I'm almost 29, okay? I can make my own decisions.

Wouldn't happen especially in California. Gavin should've known this in the Beginning because there's barely any properties to build such Houses and apartments to install electric stoves.

It will dearly cost Gavin so much to make it happen, his new plan is to tax people to leave California.

it's too late for Gavin because there's no space to create new Homes in California for Electric Stoves and wasting Tax Payers on Agencies trying to infiltrate homeowners and renters to remove Gas Stoves and less law enforcing them.


yea it won't happen.

@soar2newhighs Look, no one is banning gas stoves... But if you want to believe it, that's fine.
@SW-User Truthfully I don’t give a damn.

You ever see what an electric stove can do to pots and pans?
I grew up with gas stoves. They were fine.
Carla · 61-69, F
@soar2newhighs well...not mine. But i dont use cheap pots and pans.
The only time ive ever warped a pan is when i rinsed it before it was cool. And that was decades ago.
And i would imagine that proper venting will be looked at way before anyone bans gas stoves...
@Carla pots, pans, their warping and ventilation…
Have a good weekend!
Carla · 61-69, F
@soar2newhighs you do the same.
Funny thing: gas stoves are RARE in most red states. Not that anyone is banning gas stoves, but if they were banned, it would mostly affect residents of a small number of blue states. Strange how republicans suddenly care so much about cooking in New York and California, LOL!!!

TeirdalinFirefall · 31-35, M
They're unnecessary infrastructure and just no longer needed when we have so many great electric cooking options. We can always just barbeque if we want some gas powered cooking.
SW-User
@TeirdalinFirefall 100% agree
butterflybaby75 · 46-50, F
There's a massive push here in Australia to drive people away from using gas for cooking and/or heating and go 'full electric'. Electricity is stupidly expensive and gas is stupidly cheap.
MissingLink · 51-55, M
It just another thing to distract people. People seem to forget how electricity is made. Biden probably thinks gas stoves run on gasoline 😂
Nanoose · 61-69, M
Yeah its like awhile back Biden made a speech about globule warming and the next thing you know you had the fox and friends telling people that Biden wants to take away their meat and thanks to Biden they will have to barbeque vegetables for their 4th of July celebration. Biden didn't say anything about taking away their meat. Cheers!
SW-User
@Nanoose Of course he didn't! My favourite was when one of the columnists was foaming at the mouth and saying it would be over his dead body before Biden made him drink plant-based beers!🍻
Nanoose · 61-69, M
@SW-User Yeah I remember that one it was pretty stupid because all beer is plant based. Cheers!
SW-User
Hell, Biden doesn't even know what a gas stove is, he probably thinks it's 3 words. 🤣 🤔
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Jo needs depends
Some union leader makes a comment and it’s the new conservative outrage du jour. They will have forgotten about it next week and will be back to trashing trans people and CRT.
Remember when the GQP said the Democrats were going to take your Meat away? Then they took M&Ms cartoon characters away because cartoon candy is to sexual for Republicans.
Cars and guns.
This is great -. You laugh away the existential threat.
But you still die from it. Lol.
Scribbles · 36-40, F
I agree. What brand of wok? We got this crappy one that we use all the time, and I'd like to get something nicer.
They are to be banned in uk for new builds in three years

Budwick · 70-79, M
What's he banning now?
SW-User
@Budwick He's certainly not banning gas stoves, but of course people would like to think he is.

I remember reading about one typical redneck chef, who tweeted: “I will stay taped to this stove until the idea is completely eliminated from everybody’s minds.” Of course, his video showed he had taped himself facing away from the stove, rendering him unable to use it...
