    Gas stoves heat things faster and hotter, I’m fine with a slight trade off for those features.

      Induction stoves are well ahead of gas. Your views are more than a decade out of date.

    Is there some different gas used in the US? Here in the EU lots of countries rely on gas for cooking and/or heating and I have never ever heard anything like it could be harmful (except fire hazard, so we have a ton of regulations and setup stuff to prevent that).

    Not saying it isn’t bad but usually in the EU we pick on anything even slightly dangerous.

    I have a gas stove and it was the only thing that we had as a heat source during the 2021 Texas freeze and our power would be out for long stretches at a time (days).

    We would purposefully limit its use for that, but goddamn we had on layers and were under blankets and goddamn it was cold. Fucking snowing outside. No water either. Then a boil water advisory so more stove use. Not a fun time, would not recommend.
