“Get a propane operated gas stove”
That is what I have. A propane stove that can be lit with a match if necessary, propane HW and gas logs that can heat the house well enough if the power is out. The fact that I can cook without electricity is the main reason I went gas when I did my kitchen remodel a few years ago.
I am kind of surprised that I have yet to hear someone bellyaching about propane. It is probably a pretty small part of the mix, but that fact that it is primarily in rural area where folks vote wrong seems like it would make it a target, primarily for spite. Perhaps the fact that President Obama just installed 2500 gallons of propane storage on his waterfront estate gives them pause. Since he probably knows something I don’t, I am thinking about taking his lead and getting a second tank this year.
Your government hates you. Hate them back. With a vengeance.
You are exactly right. They hate us intensely. They don’t care what we want. They force us to accept their wishes. We do not live in a constitutional republic any longer.
Bkmk
we are right behind them with this idiocracy. The USA has become a worse monster than the fowl nasty british empire it was formed to escape from
When I was using a propane grill, a tank would last me a couple of months. Now, in my kitchen sits a commercial double convection oven gas range with eight burners. I love it and if someone comes after it, it would have to be taken from my cold dead hands.
They don’t really want you in an EV car, either. They want you schlepping around town in their lithium battery torch-buses.
Or walking or on a bicycle, yes.
Natural gas is way too valuable as a commodity to be frivolously flaring.
In the 1950s, one of my grandfathers was manager of a natural gas plant in NE Texas in the Longview, Kilgore and Gladewater triangle. It upgraded raw natural gas direct from the oil fields to pipeline commercial grade. Propane and butane were contaminants sent to flare at the time. Ethane was shipped by rail to petrochemical plants for plastics production.
So one day, granddad called his boss in Tulsa and said boss, there's this crazy guy down here that wants to buy my propane. It would take $xx to upgrade tower 2 to pull off a propane fraction and add piping and controls at the rail and truck tanker loading docks. Boss gave him the $$$. Company made a nice profit.
A while later, granddad call his boss again. Boss, you know that crazy guy buying all my propane? Now he wants all the butane. Can I get more $$$ for more tower 2 modifications and new piping at the tanker loading docks? Boss gave him the $$$. Company made more profit.
Dishwashers are very good now...
It is the detergent that changed. They banned phosphates in the name of environmental responsibility. I now use 2 of the most expensive pods and a couple drops of Dawn to have a chance in a 4hour cycle to get clean dishes.
More chemicals...more energy...more time...how is that better?
I remember those flares from when my dad worked in the gas fields of NW and SE New Mexico.
In 1856, our camp trailer was blown to pieces with us inside from a wellhead gas leak into the camp sewer line.
Horribly burned my mom.
They can’t ban gun parts, guns or accessories, but we let them anyway.
Nuke the swamp. Draining it is impossible
Let me cogitate on this one.
Gas stove: I Institute a direct combustion reaction against the bottom of my cookware. Said reaction provides instant, controllable heat, but there is some heat loss.
Electric stove: Someone else fires up a coal-fired or nuke plant that generates electricity, that is sent over transfer lines in the power grid, makes its way to my cooktop and heats my food, but there is some heat loss.
Decisions, decisions....
These people really are brain dead.
