Gas Stove vs Electric Stove

[HenryBHough]

Electric stove users who think that keeps them safe from gas explosions have their heads shoved so far up their tight little asses that they can't see daylight. How is your house heated? Wood fire? Coal? Oil? Electric? GAS?????

Even if you don't have any gas heating or appliances if you're in an American home anywhere there is piped natural gas available odds are near 95% that when your home was built there was a gas connection built in. Somewhere in the building there is a pipe with a shutoff and, if the builder wasn't cutting corners there's also a very secure cap on the end of the pipe. If your panties are all in a wad over it then spend some of your welfare check on a plumber to look the whole place over, determine whether you do or don't have a gas pipe. If you do it should have never have been turned on (typically near the street) but who knows??? Paranoia, after all, knows no bounds!

It usually depends...
Some neighborhoods were built without Nat gas pipeline. Some local Electric Companies were giving kickbacks to contractors who didn't install neighborhood gas lines. Then the local gas companies got wind and did the same. Then they both got wiser and cut out all subsidies.

Beazer, Dr Horton, CCS and other large contractors take whatever legal bribes/incentives are handy.

i never had a problem too but that doesn't mean there are no problems with those. other people and households had serious problems with them according to the media.

Lots of electrical fires in homes too so maybe you should get rid of electricity altogether

this is from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)

How common are natural gas explosions?​

Across the U.S. there are about 286 serious natural gas explosions per year—the type that cause over $50,000 worth of damage, severe injury, or loss of life. Between 1998 and 2017, 15 people per year on average died in incidents related to gas distribution in the U.S.......it also said much of this was from old worn lines to old structures or faulty home appliances.....the newer houses and buildings and those being built should be pretty safe.......

How many of those originate within a home? How many were industrial ?

This guy says that a houses explodes from natural gas mishaps on a weekly basis.

Here's a quote from the NFPA...

An estimated average of 4,200 home structure fires per year started with the ignition of natural gas. These fires caused an average of 40 deaths per year. ... In the U.S., local fire departments respond to an average of 340 natural gas or LP-Gas leaks per day with no ignition.

How often do you end up buying new gas?

Ever heard of natural gas? It comes via pipeline. No tank required.

 

[Rodimus]

Do you drive a gas car? Or use a gas powered lawnmower?

i have never had a problem with gas cars or gas lawnmowers but that does not mean there are no problems with them.

 

[Rodimus]

could you post links to some of those many homes you saw explode??

and dont post links to ones youve read about but to those as you said youve seen,,

i do not have any links to those. most of the reports of gas exposions, i saw on the national news in the middle of the night on ABC World News Now, CBS Overnight News, and CNN.

[progressive hunter]

no. my house has never blown up from a gas explosion.

and what about the other half of my comment??

 

[martybegan]

Gas stoves are far better to cook with.

And exactly how many homes have you seen explode?

I've found the perfect combination would be a gas range top, with an electric oven.

 

[Rodimus]

and what about the other half of my comment??

that's what i'm saying, there are problems with gas. others are saying there is no danger to gas.

 

[progressive hunter]

that's what i'm saying, there are problems with gas. others are saying there is no danger to gas.

not seeing anyone say that,,

 

[Rodimus]

not seeing anyone say that,,

i'm saying gas is dangerous.

 

[progressive hunter]

i'm saying gas is dangerous.

and not saying anything about the others that have a far higher death rate,,

 

[Rodimus]

and not saying anything about the others that have a far higher death rate,,

i'm just saying what i see reported in the news. i do not know about the death rate.

 

[progressive hunter]

i'm just saying what i see reported in the news. i do not know about the death rate.

sounds like youre doing a bunch of unnecessary fear mongering,,

 

[HenryBHough]

These days to ensure being able to cook food one needs:

1. Electric Stove
2. Piped natural gas stove
3. Propane camp stove
4. "White gas" pump type camp stove
5. Cast Iron wood or coal fired stove.

And don't forget to stock plenty of coal, white gas, propane and matches.

And for those who feel that's not enough, an exercise bike with a generator and a microwave oven.
