There was a time in my lifetime when country cooks reacted with joy to a much improved stove:
“Now You’re Cookin With Gas” was the refrain that quickly referenced any improvements that were good and fast and affordable.
Cooks had moved from wood stoves to coal stoves, a duplicate set of which had been located in the attached “summer kitchen” to avoid over-heating a hot summer home.
In the city there were the ‘gas-mains’, in the country the 100-pound tanks.
Gas was Fast! 2000-degrees directly on the 'whatever-pot' in a consistent predictable process and a predictable oven too, all of which could be in the year-round kitchen.

Electric stoves operate at much lower temperatures, depend on metal to metal contact, elements stay hot after turned-off and depend on significant electric service facility at 240-volts.

Fast forward to Jan 2023 in which the MVP pipeline, carrying WVa Fracking Gas has been stymied by political-judges doing their masters bidding with no factual legal or environmental basis.
And now a Biden minion accidentally exposed the real energy agenda of forcing homes to use electric stoves, hot water and electric heating in an environment in which the electric grid is over-loaded and every government-utility action is further compromising the grid.
To add insult to injury the Biden yahoos and their PravdaMedia are claiming that consumer negative reactions are just right-wing knee-jerks – Really!

The Democrat jihad to electrify everything stands in stark contrast to their Orwellian reaction to rising electric-grid costs that have not yet begun to ‘blast-off’ with massive costs and massive back-up requirements, for example:

WSJ: The Coming Gas Stove Culture War
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-coming-gas-stove-culture-war-progressives-consumer-product-safety-commission-richard-trumka-jr-kathy-hochul-11673647434
Don’t believe this week’s denials. Progressive Democrats really are coming for your kitchen appliances.
But we didn’t make up Mr. Trumka’s (Biden’s Consumer Product Safety Commission Minion) quote. We and others responded to it. After withering public criticism, including by Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, the CPSC Chairman denied any plan to ban, and the White House said President Biden also doesn’t want to ban gas stoves. But that’s cold comfort given that the climate left does want to ban them, and progressive cities and states are doing it.
Progressive cities such as Berkeley, San Francisco and New York City have already banned gas stoves and other appliances in new buildings. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul this week proposed a ban on gas equipment including stoves in new small buildings in 2025 and larger ones in 2028.

On a lighter and International level of fuel-control the Indian government is banning cow-dung from being used as street-cooking fuel:
Indian city's cow-dung ban leaves a bitter taste for street food vendors who depend on this fuel for livelihoods, saying burning dung essential to flavour of Bihari favourites
