Health concerns are real (methane and potentially CO), but they are one thing - vastly more energy efficient.
So if you're in to energy efficiency gas appliances make some sense.
There's something ridiculous about burning a ton of gas [to boil water and spin turbines], which generates and sends electricity (with enormous losses at every step) to a stove which heats a coil ... to boil water.

- chaxor 5y agoThe difference is that there is far more wasted energy when using electric stoves vs a gas stove. There are more carbon emissions from electric appliances over gas appliances because of the losses (entropy, etc) at each step.
