When we lost power for two days in the TX Freeze 2021, we were damn glad to have a gas stove. It was 43 degrees inside my house, but we kept warm with blankets, gas fireplace (which doesn't give off nearly the same heat as a real wood one) and heating up hot liquids, as well as gumbo and soup from the freezer.

With an electric stove, I'd have had to be outside in the sub freezing weather trying heat shite up on my Bayou Classic.

People wanting to ban gas stoves fall into one of two categories:

1- Communists on power trips who believe they should have more control; or

2- Idiots who are brainwashed by those in #1 above.

Induction stoves are more efficient than traditional electric stoves, which is what the vast majority of households have.

An induction stove that replaces a gas stove sure does put more stress on the grid. At just the wrong time, the peak where people come home, start cooking dinner, etc.

Same with heat pumps. Sure, more efficient than resistive heat, but if they replace a gas furnace, that's more load on the grid.
