    Electric stroves are common in Germany. Probably 95 % of the people have one. We don’t have nuclear power plants and we still have a stable grid ;-) just sayin’.

      I live in the US and I’ve never been in a house or apartment with a gas stove. Maybe they’re more common up north where they use gas for heating.

        They’re very common in the north east. I think I’ve lived in more places with gas stoves than electric.

        They’re pretty common in more rural areas. My parents live rural California and they lose power for at least a week every year. A gas stove is a must.

          Sorry, obviously not from the US. Is a week per year every year without energy common in rural areas? In Germany that would be outrages. On the other hand, Germany is small compared to the US.

      Yeah you burn coal, idk why you had to mention nuclear when their issue is that their grid is horrendously mantained becasue of greedy corporations.

        So does Australia with its lobbied mining industry. Also Germany is close to reaching 50% renewables, surpassing Australia in their emission goals by at least several years

          Cool I guess. Nuclear is clean energy though. Anyway, this discussion is quite off the rails of the original comment chain, which is why I mentioned the need to mention nuclear when it was quite irrelevant to the conversation.

            Cool I guess. Doesn’t matter cause at the end of the day, electric stoves (esp induction) are still far superior to gas and definitely do not break the grid as above article claims.
