Nationwide gas stove ban?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

We should start an ongoing thread of the latest gas explosions.

No way will I allow gas appliances in my home but also, I don't want to live within at least several hundred feet of gas mains or other buildings that have gas in them either. Because when they go up, I don't want my home affected.

I wonder how property insurance reacts.

I'm sure the increasing property insurance rates are taking into account the aging gas pipelines that can rust out and leak ANYWHERE. ughhhh

Get these damn things out of our neighborhoods NOW!

The good news is it's very easy and inexpensive to cut off a rusting old gas line that feeds a neighborhood and remove the meters. No need to dig up streets or anything.

They also make efficient electric water heaters.

What's your point? It's a screen name. It can be anything.

The message is what's important though at 23 y.o. you may not have learned the importance of substance over style yet.

You stated above that you were done with this thread.

Well, as someone who’s 54 years old, you are acting like one of those 12 year olds I once knew in middle school and believe anything you see on the internet.

If you want people to take you seriously, don’t act so childish about things.

Stop attacking people personally.

This is a civil discussion of the planned ban on gas stoves per the Consumer Product Safety Commision and other credible agencies.

If you can't act respectful please prove what you said above: "Too mature to argue about such nonsense."

Please follow the rules that Robert has set for his group and use some common sense.
 
Our cars wouldn't have seat belts and other restraints if it weren't for those who move to help people live safely. I'm grateful.

I'm grateful for the smoking bans in buildings, for the emergency and hospital services available when needed, and for public health agencies that help with all kinds of life affecting illnesses that occur.

No way would I even think to insult or hurt these agencies.

“Stop attacking people personally”

Not attacking you personally, just don’t want to see and hear people argue about such silly things such as natural gas.

“This is a civil discussion of the planned ban on gas stoves per the Consumer Product Safety Commission and other credible agencies”.

I am being civil in this discussion.

“If you can’t act respectful pleas prove what you said above: “Too mature to argue about such nonsense”.

I am being respectful, you just keep going on and on.

“Please follow the rules the Robert has set for his group and use some common sense”.

I do follow the rules by not bringing up politics, religion, etc. and refraining from using R-rated language. You just told me to follow the rules yet broke one of the rules in Reply #21 since you bought up the subject of politics.
 
"...just don’t want to see and hear people argue about such silly things such as natural gas."

Then get out of this discussion!

And be warned: This is an appliance group. We've talked about gas appliances before and we will be talking about them again in one form or another.

If you can't handle that then you need to learn to control yourself and abstain.

If all the accidents that have happened in the world regarding natural gas and the pending legislation to help protect people in the future hasn't convinced you that there is a problem; then perhaps you've been living in a house with excess CO2 and it's "affected you". I don't know what your problem is. Natural gas is not a "silly thing".
 
cast iron pipe dug and replaced

After house exploded in Dallas.

The stuff of nightmares. If texas had decent utility legislation, the pipes would most likely have been replaced BEFORE the explosion.

We also need legislation that blocks, exposes, and punishes the criminal elements that tries to keep life saving information and policies from taking affect. That is as much as problem as the problem issues themselves.

 
Even an almost new house

What I would call new is probably 20 years old.

In a flash, the house just gone. That's how dangerous gas is.

Absolutely NOT silly business.

No, you need you to learn to control yourself and abstain. I don’t go beating on the same dead horse over and over and over and over and over again.

Btw, see how you posts have few to no upvotes on them? Tells you something.

You are harassing people. Why, I don't care. It's not appropriate in a civil discussion about gas stoves.

You aren't even a paid contributor to the site.

Just getting thumbs means nothing. lol. Thumbing your own post is desperate.

Everyone can see how you've behaved herein. I've screen shotted everything.

Leave the discussion if you can't handle it as you already admitted. This groups isn't here to entertain you, or anyone else for that matter.

Are you going to start a discussion about that? That's a good idea.

I want to see the videos about houses simply exploding because of electricity simply existing.

I'll look for the appropriate post.
 
“You are harassing people. Why, I don’t care. It’s not appropriate in a civil discussion about gas stoves”.

I am not harassing anyone, just replying to your posts.

“You aren’t even a paid contributor to the site”.

I already know that, don’t have the green star next to my username.
 
Until I was 11 we lived in a small town back east. The house (built in 1950) had gas, electricity, and a big fuel tank in the basement. Every fall a big tanker truck would come by and snake a line out to the house to fill the tank. That fuel oil was used to run the home heating system. When we moved to California,  homes were heated either by natural gas or electricity. In fact I've never seen a fuel oil truck pull up to a home out here to fill a home's fuel tank. And I recall there was usually a whiff of fuel oil back east when the heating system started up. I don't miss that at all.

 
 
Fuel Oil

We had an oil fired heater at our cabin in Lakeport, California. Since removed and replaced with electric wall heater. My cousin lives up there and has oil heat. I don't think there is natural gas up there.
