CHICAGO — The debate over the future of gas stoves in Chicago has been heating up in recent months.
Under one proposal, called the “Clean and Affordable Buildings Ordinance,” the City Council could ultimately ban gas stoves in all new construction projects.
Chicago is not the only government agency looking at ways to limit gas emissions. Last year, New York became the first state to ban natural gas and other fossil fuels in new buildings.
Prominent Chicago Chef Rick Bayless made the transition in his restaurants years ago.
“We wanted to make everything as environmentally friendly as possible,” said Bayless, whose eateries include Frontera Grill. “I fell in love with induction because I think that’s where we are headed for the future.”

I wonder what happens to a house that is sold with a gas stove that was grandfathered with the original owners?
He lives in Chicago.
The people who today are trying to ban natural gas are the same people who, less than 10 years ago, were trying to force people to switch over to “clean burning natural gas”.
Chicago or the elites get 10% from every Chinese electric store that’s sold ?
Chicagoans need their gas stoves! How else will the remaining residents be able to commit suicide once Brandon Johnson’s evil plans are fully implemented?
Supposedly there was a primary election in Illinois and Chicago posted some of the worst voter turn out numbers in ages. About 85% of the electorate did not vote in the city as of 3 PM.
When the cemetery vote stays home things are really bad in Chiraq.
This will accelerate the divide amongst the people of this country, and will begin to focus the parasites wholly in urban areas, segregated from the rest of us by their own actions and desires.
Then, they begin to eat each other. Figuratively, at first.

“What’s the future of your gas stove in Chicago?”
If we find that your dwelling unit has a gas stove, we will have to take ‘disciplinary action’.
There are a lot of store brand stoves that come with an extra set of gas orifices made for propane fuel consumption instead of natural gas. Mine had some with it to add if needed.
I vastly prefer natural gas over power for the heating I do (in Alabama that’s nowhere near as much as the heating needed in Chicago, the city of the post). Except that natural gas has one very important shortcoming: I can’t produce my own natural gas. I hate depending too much on energy sources that the Dims over-regulate.
My gas stove has no future in Chicago because it’s in Idaho.
Pushing electric everything while deliberately sabotaging the grid.
Although he did business in South Central LA and not Chicago, Fred Sanford would not have given much for a used gas stove, the way things are going lately.
“Except that natural gas has one very important shortcoming: I can’t produce my own natural gas”
you can, however, easily produce your own electricity from natural gas in an emergency, and electricity is far more likely to fail than natural gas delivery ... in fact, if natural gas delivery fails, the U.S. will descend into total anarchy in less than a week ...
You and I think a lot alike. One difference, however, is I'm concerned about the slow boil type control from government more than the total chaos. In other words, it bothers me that the Dims raise natural gas prices (and power, and gasoline). Of course, that is, unless it's an election year. I fear they will make it a little harder, and a little harder, ... to avoid bowing to their gods of hedonism and such. The cost of natural gas and other energy is part of their arsenal to slow boil us like the frog in the pot.
