Proposed ban on gas stoves...

[grsthegreat]

I dont believe you can find leaded gas in the usa gas pumps. No way. Ethanol free, yes, but not leaded.

our airport used yo sell LL fuel for off road vehicles and boats. That ended years ago.

Yes, it was phased out decades, 1995 to be exact.

From the Federal Register

"The Clean Air Act and corresponding EPA regulations prohibit gasoline containing lead or lead additives (leaded gasoline) as a motor vehicle fuel after December 31, 1995."​

All the best,

I`m not going to drag this thread into another direction. I wasn`t the one taking it in another direction, ruffdog did.

I was only correcting his comment about misinformation. Have a good day sir.

Your the one putting out misinformation

Heres the numbers from a electric stove manufacturer

I don't have the numbers but we use and like our induction cooktop. It's uses less energy.

Coming to the question of whether the induction cooktop uses more electricity, No it doesn’t. An induction cooktop does not use more electricity and is far more energy-efficient than gas or electric cooktops. With induction cooking, 85-90% of the heat energy generated is used for cooking.

Wow, weird, i can drive to 3 local gas stations where i live, fill my tank with 110 octane, LEADED GAS, and drive away. So, people are giving false information about LEADED gas is banned, it surely is not. Maybe someday in the future, but it ain`t right now.

110 octane leaded gas is NOT legal for use on the road in the U.S. You can use it in race cars, aircraft, farm equipment and marine engines.

REALLY???????????

Here is a picture of the gas pumps down the road from me. Notice the price on the pump in the picture all the way to the right???? Its LEADED 110 octane!
You drive right up to it, buy as much as you want, pay the man, then drive away! I`m not going to comment any longer. There`s the proof, deal with it however you wish!

I’m the one asking if it’s a good idea.

You're quite welcome to question your own choices.

That pic is so blurred, cant tell anything. Heck, i havnt even seen non digital pumps for more years than i can remember.

what stone age state do you live in

Right...
We buy leaded gasoline for the drag cars. We take it home in containers. How it gets into high compression road cars I'll never know.

There are two stations within 10 minutes of me that still use old school pumps, plus almost all the propane dealers around here.

Maine. I'll take the stone age.

Unrelated to the above, it's interesting that so many of these things we're now moving to get rid off are all things that can offer us relative freedom from society at a reasonable cost.

I have seen stations selling race fuel and undyed K1, they also had big signs says NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE.
Some places you have to go inside and sign an affidavit that it is not going to be used in a street going vehicle.

Don't believe everything you read people, WOW

What makes you think electricity become cheaper in the decades to come ? I think this statement is gibberish the infrastructures are getting outdated, the populations don't want nuclear, green energy is unreliable and super expensive and the demand will keep increasing so explain to me how it can ever become cheaper ??

Canada as one if not the biggest known natural gas deposit but they refuse to exploit it once that changes, we won't have supply problems.

From my experience Canadians are not big on exploiting people or the earth. I expect banding of the burning of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere will not be required because other forms of energy will win out cost wise over fossil fuels.

They have been promising a new, cheap, clean, reliable, and plentiful source of energy for the past 30 years. And...here we are discussing banning cook stoves.

In the 1950s, they were talking about atomic powered airplanes.

And flying cars .

 

[grsthegreat]

Last thing i ever want to see is a bunch of flying cars. Heck, people can barely drive…. Much less fly.

And flying cars .

The biggest hindrance to flying cars is federal regulations (AKA red tape)...most early developers (and their investors) went belly up trying to meet said regs etc...been that way as long as the concept...!

They want to make home deliveries by drone.
