Default All the hoopla over incandecent bulbs...

You have a very narrow view of "what makes sense".
Noozer, and a cupla others in this thread, were right on the money.

The fact that you can't see it is but another reason you might want to
consider putting your kids in foster care.

The comparisons only make sense if you get equivalent or better results
from the device in question. Since that's not the case, the suggestion is
pure fluff.

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.
