Lol...
For me at least it's too sickening a conversation to continue,,, it's not about health, it's about "fossil" fuels and nothing else..

As there is no nationwide, gas stove ban planned or even being talked about.
How many advantages of electric ranges have been discussed at great length on automatic washer if anybody wants to go back and reread them.

The other speculation on the banning of gas stoves is still the pipelines underground and it doesn’t help rising fuel costs are also hurting the petroleum industry enough that along with driving only electric cars the world will resign itself to only electric cooking to that effect…
So far, though, I only see how the battle continues...
I’ll just see if I’ll even be around then, depending on whenever that evolution really fully takes place…

Gas range change out in apartment buildings
Actually, a lot of apartment buildings are already contemplating and changing out. Gas ranges for many reasons
Safety is a big one a lot of buildings have a lot of gas leak problems. We’ve had buildings here in DC where they just took all the gas ranges out because in some apartment buildings. The only thing gas in the apartments is a range so it’s easy to get rid of them.
Gas ranges will slowly be replaced.

Let's see. Here in my home of the past 25+ years, I have:
1) Gas cooktop
2) Gas furnace
3) Gas water heater
4) Gas clothes dryer
As I recall, I replaced an electric cooktop and electric clothes dryer with the gas versions. In all cases my reasoning was that matural gas is uniquely suited to produce heat for such applications, and at the time I upgraded these items to gas, it was also a more efficient and less costly way than using electricity to produce such heat.
However in the past year Californistan has seen fit to raise the price of natural gas piped to homes. However it seems that the price of electricity has also increased at least as much. So what may have been a $100-$200 PG&E bill five years ago is now a $300-$500 bill.
One option now is to install solar panels, probably on the garage and workshop roofing. Why? Because they are metal, while the house roofing is wood shake which will be costly to replace and probably not well suited for solar panels anyway.
It is what it is.

Yes, the shake roof has seen better days.
However, I went up there a few years back and replaced any shakes that were deteriorated. I still have spare shakes left over from that. Looked at it yesterday again (from the ground) and a few need attention. But it's my understanding the main purpose of the wood shakes is to protect the tar/felt underneath from the sun. The shakes themselves don't block the rain. I'll probably give it another inspection this spring when the rains stop, and decide what to do.
