Trump promised to cut consumers’ energy costs within his first year in office but gas price is up 4% on average
Americans using gas stoves to cook during the holidays, or any other meal in the near future, are set for persistently higher bills, with the price of gas expected to keep rising into next year.
US households will pay 4% more for gas power this year, on average, compared with 2024, with the industrial and power plant sectors experiencing a much higher price rise, a recent analysis from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has found.
The cost of gas piped into people’s homes rose by 11.7% in September, compared with a year previously, a higher rate of inflation than in any other area measured by the federal government, such as food, medical care and clothing.
And assuming green energy, no emissions
Even without that it it’s better. For one gas plants have a high efficiency. On the other hand even if you have efficiency gains you still have no VOCs, much faster heating and no open flame. Gas loses a lot of heat by it just flowing up the sides of the pot. Induction literally heats up the bottom of your pot with magnets. Yes there are transmission losses. But it’s really amazingly fast. I can make my steel wok glow red in about 10-15 seconds seconds if I use the boost program on my stove. And it is not even a fancy stove.
Yep, no objections there.
Yeah, unfortunately in my area gas range is actually more efficient than induction because the electricity is mainly by natural gas anyways.
Efficient in what way?
A combined cycle natural gas power plant can get about 60% efficiency, and induction is usually above 90% efficiency. Even with some transmission efficiency reduction, you should still get over 50%+ total efficiency.
A gas stove on the other hand is only about 30-40% efficient.
Per unit of gas, it’s more efficient to use induction in that case.
Maybe on a really old stove top? High efficiency burners with the right pan can be 85-95% efficient.
Source for that?
You aren’t talking about that $2000 dollar pan with the heat fins on the bottom are you?
I forgot about that, it’s a little pricey but not that expensive! https://effium.com/collections/all
