Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 16, 2022

Hot take.

Good thing it wasn’t an electric burner, that really would have hurt. Not to mention that it would probably be coal powered.

I forgot what states or cities, but there are already areas that are banning natural gas for new construction. Warm weather states though – no one’s telling someone in WI or MN they have to use electric furnaces (yet).

Wash state just started that.

Burnt, dead hands?

Too much is being asked of the power grid.

So where does he see his irony in the fire?

And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire — /snip/

You guys don’t seem to be the best ones to ask about the future

Using electric makes so much sense because there is no pollution from the oven. Just the power plants…

Arlo….you are no Charleton Heston.What happens to electric cars when a cyber attack knocks out the power grid ????

Generac 22 KW from Costco , all kinds of reasons to buy one and have it installed by a licensed contractor . 22 KW for some houses of course , but they have all that are needed for emergency power .

Sorry, but real cooks use gas stoves. Any chef worth their salt knows a gas stove is quick to respond both to turning on and turning off. Anybody who has used one and then has to switch to electric is not happy.

Ha! Old man rant gone…well, the way they often do.

sad to think Arlo is a gashead…. he should know that charcoal is the way to go WITHOUT lighter fluid.

???What happened?

When did “electric” become a noun in addition to being an adjective?

You are far more likely to burn something on a cooktop where you can’t see it’s turned on. Like lighting when you have a heat pump, the pollution from a gas stove is down in the noise.

Anyone who believes they should ban natural gas should read “Apocalypse Never”.

Anything you use produces “pollution.” It’s covered int the Laws of Thermodynamics. So the only “safe” thing to do is stop eating. BAH!

Just converted my stove to gas. Love it!

Arlo, a real cook wouldn’t let a little thing like a burn stop him!

Do what Texas does. The Govenor goes south when the power grid goes down.

Love my Gas stove it cooks better than any Electric stove I have ever used. Guess we could go back to the old wood stove…..

He really should give induction a try.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz returned to Texas on Thursday and expressed regret for his trip to Cancún, Mexico after being chastised by both Republicans and Democrats for leaving his state as it buckles under the severe effects of a devastating winter storm.

Arlo is some what clumsy?

I wish I had a gas stove. I guess it’s because I grew up with one & I have fond kitchen memories of it.

Never grab a horse-shoe until you’re SURE that it’s been “quenched” by the blacksmith !

The amount of green house gas produced by home gas stoves is minuscule compared to the well head leaks of methane, pumping stations, industrial usage, etc, etc. Take care of those first, then worry about my small 4 burner stove.

He got gaslighted…

When the power goes out, with a gas stove one can cook and provide heat.

Berkeley, California banned gas stoves in new builds a few years ago. Soon they will have to go out of town to dine, chef’s can’t cook on electric stoves. ……and neither can I !! (The FOOLS!)

I need gas cooking doggone it. Too much heating and cooling involved in my cooking. Electric takes too long. I stir fry a lot and electricity is not great for that.

Looks like they did…….

Using an electric stove is a lot more expensive than a gas stove. Anyone notice they take all the excess natural gas and ship overseas? The pollutants are still going into the air. The problem isn’t gas stoves, it’s removing the gas from the ground in the first place.

The answer is all of the above but more importantly all hands on deck.We have to use a combination of the our best and do our best.All the small things we can do make no difference in the individual but in the collective they can help save up all.We can waste time arguing the details, the point is to do what we can now.We have put off the changes needed too long, every day we wait the solutions will be harder and more painful but is the choice to party today to leave a burning house to our children tomorrow? We must work together for the common good, there will be cost and inconvenience but to condemn future generations for our inaction is the ultimate sin.

Charleton Heston would have been so proud

it from my “hot” dead hands…..Arlo “Heston” Day

I don’t like electric stoves.

Imagine a heat pump stove.

It would definitely be interesting.

You want irony? Just as I was reading “Arlo & Janis,” the doorbell rang and it was the deliverymen with our new electric stove & oven! Ha! We’ve had both gas and electric before, and have come to appreciate the plusses of each kind…and forgive most of the deficiencies of each as well.

I drive a Tesla. It has more than enough range for a full day of regular driving about town/commuting, with overnight charging, and owners who have off peak rates certainly take advantage of them. The car can be told what time start charging.

I saw the study. Scientifically flawed. Inadequate sample population, questionable sampling technique, no factor for age of appliance. Ergo, garbage.

I’ve had a gas stove and an electric stove. I greatly prefer the electric stove with the smooth glass top.

5 years ago I converted our stove to eating Out…cuts down on electricity and clean up.

This house did not have a gas stove, but it did have a gas fire place. So we ran a line for a gas stove. I hate cooking on an electric stove. The best part is… I can always cook when the power goes out. :-)

If I can help it, I will never go back to electric an stovetop. Control is faster and a simmer can be maintained easier on any size pot. If that isn’t good enough, “You goddang kids get off my lawn right now!”

We need more solar power and wind set up first.

Our newest stove/oven combo – gas stove/electric oven. Our house also came plumbed got patio gas barbecue. Electric clothes dryer.

The Russians could be trying their best to cut gas consumption in Europe.

I put everything on this earth that you need…God

Not to worry: we’ll make short work of doing it up brown.

Remember, the darkest hour is just before things go completely black.

That has gotta hurt!

Jimmy. Can’t you just stay out of politics? Please?

We get this shit every day from a dozen directions. The comics pages are for FUN. For entertainment.
