With the Department of Energy (DoE) pushing to ban gas stoves, many Americans are looking for alternatives to increasingly expensive electric options. Many experts agree that the indoor air quality argument for banning gas stoves is weak. And it doesn’t account for the financial strain that comes with forever higher electric bills. “Green” energy comes at a cost and there are plenty of people out there who simply cannot afford it. But there is hope. Recent market data shows affordable coal stoves are making a comeback.
Using modern manufacturing techniques and mass production, affordable coal stoves can be inexpensive, easy to operate, and stylish. The Amish have been using them for decades and through the years have improved the technology. A simple youtube search will show you tons of modern implementations.
While there is no current push by the DoE to regulate coal stoves, by the time they figure out that coal stove usage has exploded, there will be too many to regulate.
