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.
Gas gives you much better heat control.
I own an induction stove now and would agree with this. The induction makes hot spots which are inconsistent across my larger cast iron pan, requiring me to rotate the pan or move food in the pan around to get everything evenly. My families gas stove does not have that issue at all with similar pans. I wonder why the down votes? Ive had to change the way I think about even heating with the induction stove.
But it sure is fast and I used to leave my old stove on accidentally too often. The induction turns itself off pretty quickly when the pan is removed.
I don’t know (they weren’t from me) but I would guess that it’s because heat control is not the same as heat distribution. Some induction ranges don’t offer any good low-heat modes, so people quickly discover that their gas stoves are better for delicate work than the induction model they tried. In reality, the problem is not induction, but stove models that implement it poorly. So people may be downvoting the misconception.
