   Thumb wrestling to death takes exactly the same time as starving to death.

   This “gas scare” sounds like just another bashing of the fossil fuel industry. Natural gas has been just fine for home heating and appliances since the 1950’s in the US and in 2021 it accounted for 32% of the US energy used. Shutting down NG along with changing all vehicle energy to electric is insane. The electric grids cannot keep up with demand already, what will happen when the demand triples?

   I don’t need to live forever. The trace amounts of “pollution” are minuscule in comparison with the benefits of cooking with gas vs electric. Instant heat and instant temperature reduction makes for using less energy and gives the cook better control of the cooking. You will never see the chefs in restaurants give up their gas stoves. The oven in the Samsung range that this gas stove replaced took 45 minutes to get up to 350°. When the glass-top temperature was reduced it took several minutes for the reduction to take effect. Are we supposed to replace our natural gas furnace as well? NOT going to happen!

   Pilot lights often blew out letting the gas run out into the room. Newer stoves have igniters and that doesn’t happen anymore.

   Maybe with an ancient gas range that has pilot lights. When mine is turned off it is OFF.
