No one is banning gas stoves entirely. It's banning gas in new construction. If you're trying to survive a 100 year storm, you're better off with a Coleman camp

- jcadam 4y ago> Coleman camp stove running off of a propane cylinder. And people will be running those inside w/o proper ventilation whereas they could have been using a much safer gas range.
- miguelazo 4y agoWe're talking about emergency situations. A few days of that is still nothing compared to several years with a gas stove, even with "proper ventilation," which is pretty rare in my experience.
- trefoiled 4y agoI understand why a Coleman camp stove might be a viable substitute, but why would you be better off with a system which performs worse in every way? This perspective also sweeps aside the living conditions of rural Americans, many of whom own a large gas tank which is refilled a few times a year via truck. They go this route because many regional electrical grids are simply not reliable enough even in the absence of a major storm, and a gas connection is not possible.
