A new study has found that gas stoves are worse for the climate than previously thought.
“People can already choose electric appliances if they want,” said Frank Maisano, a Washington policy and public relations expert who represents gas and appliance interests. “People just like gas appliances because they perform better, especially in colder climates.”
Jackson estimated that when all natural gas use and extraction is taken into account, about 100 million tons of gas leaks into the atmosphere. And the couple million tons from gas stoves “is meaningful. That’s a substantial part and it’s a part that we haven’t included accurately in the past.” Merrin, who wasn't part of the study, said the emission of un-combusted methane is"clearly bad. From an emissions standpoint, cooking directly with gas is better than using a fossil fuel powered electric stove but worse than using a solar powered electric stove.”

Study: Gas stoves worse for climate than previously thoughtGas stoves are contributing more to global warming than previously thought because of constant tiny methane leaks while they’re off, a new study found. The same study that tested emissions around stoves in homes raised new concerns about indoor air quality and health because of levels of nitrogen oxides measured.

As climate crisis worsens, this California city wants to build a gas plantThis city was founded in 1906 and shares a border with L.A. at Griffith Park. It’s home to Walt Disney Imagineering (for now) and has excellent hiking trails. Also, it’s possibly the last city that will build a fossil-fueled power plant in California.
