Maybe you should put the children YOU have in foster care.

Noozer is absolutely correct.
Electric convection/microwave requires no venting, which is an *immediate*
energy savings, and convection is really (or should be) an inexpensive
option, cuz all it is is a g-d *fan*.
And electric ovens should not be compared with electric cook tops, which
*are* miserable, from all povs.
Europe digs induction cook tops, not just from culinary snobbery, which is
important unto itself, but also from efficiency povs, as was explained to
me.

Ultimately it is difficult to compare gas with electricity, except from a
pure dollar pov.
The best solution overall is hydroelectric power. Then, electricity wins,
hands down.

I just had a thought...

Pushing everyone over to CFLs from incandecent bulbs is supposed to save
a lot of electricity, right?

Well, how much power does it take to cook a roast for a family of five in
your average electric oven? Bet we'd save a lot more money if we forced
everyone over to microwave/convection systems.


What a stupid suggestion. Please do not have children.
