The gas industry is telling consumers that ditching their appliances will break the grid. And other nonsense.

    Electric stroves are common in Germany. Probably 95 % of the people have one. We don’t have nuclear power plants and we still have a stable grid ;-) just sayin’.

      Yeah you burn coal, idk why you had to mention nuclear when their issue is that their grid is horrendously mantained becasue of greedy corporations.

      I live in the US and I’ve never been in a house or apartment with a gas stove. Maybe they’re more common up north where they use gas for heating.

        They’re very common in the north east. I think I’ve lived in more places with gas stoves than electric.

        They’re pretty common in more rural areas. My parents live rural California and they lose power for at least a week every year. A gas stove is a must.

          Sorry, obviously not from the US. Is a week per year every year without energy common in rural areas? In Germany that would be outrages. On the other hand, Germany is small compared to the US.
