Should gas stoves be banned? What are the environmental and health impacts of gas appliances? And should you go electric? The truth might shock you!
There's been a lot of talk about a gas stove ban, thanks to a new report that found 13% of asthma cases in kids are caused by gas stoves specifically. Is it all controversy or are there genuine dangers and health impacts you should be worried about?

@@PulseCodeMusic The point of these extraction hoods/fans is to only clean the air rising from the stove of the oily vapor from the food and also larger leftover particulates from the fire. They have replaceable charcoal filters inside them. Sadly this only helps so much. I used to not have one and the walls and ceiling in the kitchen turned brownish yellow over a decade of using a gas stove. The hood with filter, that keeps circulating the air is significantly better than nothing, but for best results the air should be directed outside.

The ENDS (Electronic Nanoweapon Delivery Systems) deployed against the U.S. population are an effective means to an end, the end of those targeted populations, by forcing into them high does concentrated nicotine. Every high dose cartridge of nicotine, if swallowed, can kill a pet, child, or adult. Under no circumstances should anyone at anytime place an ENDS device into their mouths to contaminate their blood. As a soft kill nanoweapon, nicotine effectively damages s perm, no tails, dead, twin tails that swim in circles. It's quite deadly to the NEXT generation... Deploy nicotine against a group and they are reduced.

Retired electrical engineer here. Studied power engineering. Lot's of mistakes in this video. Electric is nice if you live in a warm climate area. But there are people that live in very cold climates, and use the gas stove as backup heat. Without this ability, people die. But more importantly.... An electric oven generates 3 times the co2 as a gas oven. shocking isn't it. If you have a gas stove and use 1 gallon of propane a week to do your cooking, then convert to an electric oven, the power company will have to burn 3 gallons of propane to produce the electricity you need to cook. Power companies operate at about a 35% thermal efficiency. Burning a fossil fuel to create heat is almost 100% efficient. But converting that heat to electric power and 70% of heat energy in propane is thrown a away as waste heat. This thermodynamic result was proven by the scientist Sadi Carnot about two centuries ago. It a direct consequence of the first and second law of thermodynamics. 1. Energy can not be created or destroyed, only changed in form. 2. Entropy in any closed system can only increase. The electric grid itself has typical losses of about 9%. But the heat engine all power plants use struggle to be better that 30% efficient. So it would be very beneficial to the planet if you got rid of your electric oven and got a gas oven. That calculation will tilt toward electric ovens if you are getting power from a nuclear power plant, or from a fossil fuel powered plant that is doing carbon capture. But carbon capture is many years in the future. The democrats are lying to you. Are you surprised? He is correct about benzene being a carcinogen. But benzene is a liquid at normal temperatures and won't "vent off" as a gas during normal operation. This is especially true if using propane instead of natural gas. Kevin

Personally for me the idea of moving everything to electric is more of a cost hurdle than anything else. Especially right now in the UK when electric prices are soaring to absolutely ridiculous levels so those less fortunate are forced to use gas alternatives to not lose their house (with the current average electric bill for last year sitting around £2,000.)

I pay about 4000 euros a year now and that's with the government putting a cap in place or it would be even more.

fair point but that also works in the inverse. lets say you run out of gas for your stove. you're not going to be cooking anything with it until you refuel. as is the case for a downed electric system, it will impact you until its fixed. in both cases depending on severity the lack of gas or electricity may be fixed within a few days or maybe a week or so. a few ways to mitigate this is to prepare for both. you could get a small generator, a portable electric stove (the really small ones), an outdoor grill, a pellet stove, etc. you dont need all of those things but you can make do with one of the other options to cover your bases for a few days if shit hits the fan. most of them you can get for pretty cheap too. so basically, do what works for you but be prepared.

Renters are actually one of the bigger concerns for regulators because, as you say, they don't have the same level of choice as a homeowner, and since lower-income families tend to rent and live in more dense housing arrangements, the effects of those emissions are compounded. This is why most of the "bans" on gas stoves mostly just apply to new or renovated multi-family housing and apartments.

As a single person in a rental switched from Gas Stove to Portable induction Stove, Mini oven, Multicooker and a Electric Wok between those four pretty much al cooking is covered, once you get use to the way everything cooks and what to use best you'll not miss Gas at all Good Pots also matter with induction, but work your way up slowly if you don't have the money, I'm on 5ply base to even out the heating at least 5ply all round including sides > 3ply all round > 5ply base only> 3ply base > Single thin steel

I lived outside the U.S. when I was younger, we had gas stove and I never met one person with asthma until I met a girl from the U.S. that came to visit some relatives, I was about 17 at that time. After I moved to the U.S., I couldn't believe how many people suffer from asthma in this country ( including my wife of 30 years ). something very curious is that every time we visit places like Hawaii, Florida, The Bahamas and other hot and humid places, her asthma tends to fade away until we comeback to California, which makes me believe that is more of California air problem and not the gas stove. If, you have asthma and had visited any of these hot and humid places, have you had your asthma suppress as well ?

Incidences and prevalences have increased significantly over the last 30 years. Rheumatic, endocrinological and gastrointestinal autoimmune diseases in Israel, Netherlands, USA and Sweden increased the most. These observations point to a stronger influence of environmental factors as opposed to genetic factors on autoimmune disease development."

Induction hobs do not burn hydrocarbons directly in your kitchen (the main focus of this video). 3. Induction hobs have the ability to use renewable energy (I do not live in the US, so this is more abundant). 4. Living in a developed country, I thankfully do not use a gas hob to heat my home! 5. You keep changing between discussing hobs and ovens - this may be a US thing, but to be clear, a hob to me is on top where you heat pans and the oven is the enclosed area where you can roast/bake.

As a short hand solution maybe you could consider getting portable counter top electric devices if you want to avoid cooking with gas as much as possible even if you still have the gas stove putting off fumes even while off, unless you say have a gas tank instead of pipes that you could get disconnected semi easily? I saw a video awhile back about someone who had a gas stove but was cooking with portable electric devices as much as possible simply because of the gas costs. If you do go induction stove just note that electric and induction are too very different things so people will want to note that when purchasing pots and pans for them, or considering if their old ones will work with an induction stove. My Mum’s pots didn’t work on the induction stove when we all moved in but thankfully mine did, as well as the old cast iron round frying pans. So now she just uses her big pot, that doesn’t work on the stove, for storing soup etc. in the fridge to free up the pot that does work on the stove. That being said would totally recommend induction for those wondering! Just a heads up so you don’t get caught out like we were.

A quickly cooked curry tastes terrible. This is why many restraunts actually cook curries in bulk, then tell late customers they have run out rather than cook new batches.

Retired electrical engineer here. Studied power engineering. Lot's of mistakes in this video. Electric is nice if you live in a warm climate area. But there are people that live in very cold climates, and use the gas stove as backup heat. Without this ability, people die. But more importantly.... An electric oven generates 3 times the co2 as a gas oven. shocking isn't it. If you have a gas stove and use 1 gallon of propane a week to do your cooking, then convert to an electric oven, the power company will have to burn 3 gallons of propane to produce the electricity you need to cook. Power companies operate at about a 35% thermal efficiency. Burning a fossil fuel to create heat is almost 100% efficient. But converting that heat to electric power and 70% of heat energy in propane is thrown a away as waste heat. This thermodynamic result was proven by the scientist Sadi Carnot about two centuries ago. It a direct consequence of the first and second law of thermodynamics. 1. Energy can not be created or destroyed, only changed in form. 2. Entropy in any closed system can only increase. The electric grid itself has typical losses of about 9%. But the heat engine all power plants use struggle to be better that 30% efficient. So it would be very beneficial to the planet if you got rid of your electric oven and got a gas oven. That calculation will tilt toward electric ovens if you are getting power from a nuclear power plant, or from a fossil fuel powered plant that is doing carbon capture. But carbon capture is many years in the future. The democrats are lying to you. Are you surprised? He is correct about benzene being a carcinogen. But benzene is a liquid at normal temperatures and won't "vent off" as a gas during normal operation. This is especially true if using propane instead of natural gas. Kevin

Our house was built in 2017 and gas appliances are standard because natural gas is cheaper than electricity (Alberta). But all the new homes have hood fans that go directly outside. The builder couldn't emphasize more about how important it is to use the fan while cooking and leave it on after the fact. Even when using the oven. They also told us to turn the central exhaust fan all the time when cooking (relative new houses have a random switch in living room or open space that controls a fan in a bathroom usually upstairs and furnace fan. This set up helps circulate and exhaust inside air, reduces humidity and keeps home be cooler in summer days) i wonder if an ERV helps with this too.

The truth of the matter is, your gas stove isn't going to kill you. We've been using them for over a hundred years and they're a HUGE upgrade from the coal or wood fire stoves we used before that. The main focus of the "bans" being talked about are in new and renovated multi-family housing and apartments, where residents don't have a choice over their appliances and the densely packed living quarters mean those pollutants are much more concentrated. This also affects lower-income families disproportionately since they tend to rent rather than tie up hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single-family home. So, convert if you can afford to as it's definitely better for you, but don't be overwhelmed by all the fear-mongering. I'd prioritize an electric car over a stove if you're worried about harmful emissions from burning fossil fuels.

Of course the concentration is higher inside of the house, you’re inside a enclosed space so the concentration will naturally be higher than outdoors.

Also idk about America but here where I live you're not allowed to own a stove without a filtered fumehood so most of those gases never make it out of the kitchen and only harm the chef during use (unless again you decide to use your equipment improperly in which case you deserve whatever comes to you).

That statement of yours is a falsehood, the problem is gas stoves AREN'T designed efficient enough to, as you put it, "minimalize its production." The gas industry and its GOP allies in Congress say regulations taking gas stove models off the market unfairly limit consumer choice. “Fifty percent of the market will not comply with DOE’s rule. That is a substantial amount of gas cooktops,” said Matthew Agen, chief regulatory counsel for energy at the American Gas Association. “A large percentage of the desirable products with the features that people are looking for will be wiped out.” Granted, you don't live in the US, but the research involved leading to scientific conclusions, would be adopted as the gold standard in civilized countries. So there you have it, research supporting better designed gas stoves, and the gas stove industry crying about how it will limit stove features and choices. Which I suspect is bogus.
