We have an induction hob and heat source pump. Our energy costs have increased due to the HSP. Air con is expensive to run right? The HSP is the air-con reversed and just as costly but is also the size of a fridge on our patio. Re-think

They dont know what to have a go at next all thise gas hobs in resaurants hmmm wok burners etc etc go electric nuclear power waste from that takes how long to be safe ?

Biggest load of codswallop I have ever head in my entire life!!!!

Wish they had questions like this on who wants to be a millionaire?...I’m going for B which is nothing...

Gas hobs are, in my opinion, easier to use than others. Would another type of cleaner fuel, like hydrogen, allow gas hobs to still be used without damaging the environment?

i could always use the barbie, but then i'd be cutting down trees and that's no good. But i don't like gas. It smells and can blow up in your face. A bit like our government.

TheSkeptic65 There is thermal blanket. The GHE theory is based on a THEORY derived from experiments using a SEALED CONTAINER. The earth and its atmosphere are NOT a sealed anything.

TheSkeptic65 Gas and other fossil fuels are responsible for contributing to the modernisation of humanity. As for causing/contributing to climate change..utter bollocks. The premise behind the GHE is that Co2, a TRACE gas, is trapped in the troposphere, acting like a blanket, keeping wamth in

So, let’s all rush out and buy new pots and pans with magnetised bases to use on the governments insistence of banning gas and installing induction hobs. Not! Expensive items that won’t be subsidised. Who makes these decisions!!!!

There aren’t enough female gas hobs?

They represent environmentally despicable combustion for heating? They represent the UK's utter shambles of an energy policy?

Многие этот обман принимают за правду жизни, потом бывает что втягиваются, и ... да ну его нахрень, вер гелсин))

Just as well we have all that electric generating capacity.

All part of the psyop to distract us and to make the little people feel responsible for the hoax. Meanwhile, over a hundred private jets park up at Davos & industry does as it pleases.

Woked food will never be the same. 🍜😩

Gas companies charge too much for the gas

Electricity is still generated in large part via fossil fuel, so this makes no sense. Also, “save money on gas bills”? I think you meant to say “electricity bills will rise at an alarming rate”! Gas is often cheaper for cooking/heating, so taking that option away is costly.

Although the science is right, there is a little bit of ignorance from the CCC. All people will do is buy a couple of propane cylinders and a cooker with the right converter. People in villages who haven't got gas (like mine) do it all the time.

What is wrong with requiring all new build properties to have solar panels?

Nothing. Mine was working fine when I cooked dinner earlier.

In other news.

So we should drive electric cars and use electric hobs to save the planet, yet subsidies to electric cars are cut, investment in nuclear power is continually delayed and wind farms and solar farms kill our wildlife. One day maybe there will be a consistent plan 🤔

Absolutely feck all another bbc scaretactic

The stuff that comes out of them is over priced

Trump and Putin use them? GasHobs

Gas hob=perfection 👍

My gas hob comes in useful especially when the electricity goes out like it did for 6 hours this week.

My missus is going for an induction hob to replace our gas one. I like gas because if there is a power cut you can still boil water and cook.

They look horrible.

Must say I prefer my induction hob, works great!

Had an electric hob which was a nightmare. Trying to boil a pan of water took ages. Agree with a comment below...maybe stop making unnecessary flights. A story may be about a cat up a tree in Texas, before u know it there’s a uk journalist there!

I love my gas it's clean and efficent. What are we supposed to use a coal fire?

They are great much prefer to electric hob

Project fear at it again! BBC spouting crap fakenews

The excitement of having my gas hob questions answered is overwhelming

A switch can be accidentally be knocked on ,causing a gas leek then causing an exlposion !!!😠😠😠😠😠😠

Nothing at all

Reducing carbon emissions will kill people. This will happen thru poverty. Government taxes on CO2 emissions affect everyone. Living becomes more expensive. Now we are told our gas fuel has to go. Death by cold. Humans are not killing the planet, it has a life cycle

They are efficient and practical. Gas is mostlh methane so you get reduced carbon dioxide and water instead. CH4 + O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

NOTHING! More PC Eurocrat lefty bollocks that will be put to bed on independence day. One day, I hope we get a government that ensures EVERY household has access to as much gas as they want!!!

I have a gas hob, and electric oven. Like it because when we have a power cut we still can cook. We do have the odd few so works well for me

There’s nothing wrong. Wrong is these stupid modern hobs where you can’t cook as good as in a gas.

There’s a bigger picture, you just have to look further than the end of your nose

Instead of gas hobs these homes could be equipped with electric induction hobs and homes could be warmed using heat pumps..... 🤦‍♀️ if they were to get it right in the first place we wouldn’t be here!!

Ha ha ha

nothing! the war on the motorist! now a war on our homes these people will not stop until we are back in the middle ages, there are no alternatives at the moment, ask anyone with air source heaters the electric bills are horrendous

Gas main being renewed around our way gas men say all uk going over to plastic pipes

So all the restaurants going to use electric who pays for new hobs heating systems?

The problem is not with gas hobs but with BBC nobs

Nothing ... and you bloody well know it.

At work I use gas which is quicker than my cooker at home which is electric (not induction). So why ban something that is more controllable and convenient?

I will be carbon neutral abd just cook less with gas and eat bagged salads wrapped in excessive plastic the other half of the week

Lemme guess BBC.....they're racist and sexist?

Looks like we're all heading for eco-ovens.

The gas price.

izabeleee3 nothing love em

Nowt

remember they told us having a diesel engine car was more environmentally friendly than a petrol engine car....how did that one turn out?

Nothing at all.. Try lighting a snout off an electric one..

And when the electric wires come down in the midst of a snow storm as they often do ..it won't be global warming causing the issue , it'll be the cold ..a single supplier of everything controls the world as do the unions. No one has thought this through

🙄🤣😂 What as opposed to electric hobs, that don't use fossil fuels?!!! 🤔🙄🤣😂

Red nose day producers are flying people all over the world to make the programme. How much muck is being dropped on our cities from the planes being used?

I burn everything when I use an Electric Cooker but never when I use Gas.

Anyone who cooks won't want induction hob

We live 9 miles from a city centre and aren’t on the gas grid, the sewage system, no fibre! Pathetic as being only electric in an old house is expensive & can’t afford solar or heat pump quoted at £10,000!!

A drop in tbe ocean compared to the USA ,China and India. But British Gas will be shitting themselves.

The biggest emission producers are planes, and they want to build bigger airports. Why are so many people flying? They can use the net for video conferencing and can holiday here. Too much sun is no good for you and we need the money being spent here.

'Scientists believe these gases are contributing to global warming by increasing the temperature of the planet.' The operative word here is 'believe' Some scientist of course 'believe' differently. I believe the bbc has agendas and I know it protects paedophiles.

Also note that heat pumps become almost useless when temps drop below 12c. After that, an electric strip heater kicks on, not efficient at all!

Answer: there's nothing 'wrong' with gas hobs - unless you're a BBC eco-plank.

No thanks, I’ll keep my gas hob until they produce an electric one which works as well.

Was once a time this would have been blamed on the EU, it’s fine going on about cutting fossil fuel yet at the same time the Nuclear alternative is cancelled

Is there some little idiot out there trying their level best to cause as much trouble as possible all in the guise of global warming.

They’re not powered by windmills?

They look too much like the set of the weakest link.

Are these idiots going to pay the electric bills?

First they came for our gas hobs, then they came for our BBQs....

Foisting this on individuals rather than attacking wasteful and dirty agricultural and industrial practices allows businesses to continue polluting while we make the sacrifices.

Seem to overlook how much of our heat gas grid will bring. Misses electric means more investment. What about work by CadentGasLtd NGNgas SGNgas have been doing around renewable gas initiatives! More informed debate needed!

So you will have to buy certain cookers & specialised cookware for them to work. Heat pumps have proved to be inefficient for heating. And don't worry about the extra cost of buying that home you can't afford, you'll save on your gas bill. (your electricity bill will negate that)

Work of art explaining how induction hobs work without even mentioning electricity. Congratulations.

Because the mad ClimateChangeCONsensusCult dear BBC that your journalists are actively promoting will lead us all down an EnergyDeadEnd, with regular GridPowerCuts cured by reliance on EnergyWeak WindTurbs/SolarPans; you too will be affected by this crazy agenda!

Is everyone forgetting how the majority of our electricity is produced?

Flammable.

Well theBBC wouldn't know what's wrong with gashobs because it goes on polluting the earth's eco-system regardless of the mess it makes. It flies journalists, helter skelter,all over the world at the drop of a hat, careless of the greenhouse gases it creates!

Does this mean suppliers will stop producing gas?

They give off HEAT when you light them and puts up your gas bill😃

Nothing wrong with a gas hob , if we all,had a cow and shoved a pipe up it’s rectum , problem solved free gas and lower global warming?

You try telling qualified chefs.

Nothing.... next

So what’s the new energy source that will satisfy the ever growing electricity demands?

plzzzzzz just belt up with this crap

They are too gassy and hobby

What's next Russel?

I don’t know...what is wrong with gas hobs? 🤔

Gas hobs and boilers could be banned in new homes by 2025 to meet carbon emissions targetsThe Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has warned that UK homes are not fit for a future of heatwaves, droughts and floods. What's the alternative to has boiler that's affordable? Just another government ploy to tax us more. We have abundance of natural gas why waste it? Oh yeah the myth that is global warming. And any company in the UK that manufactures them will be forced to close. No doubt blame brexit

Gas hobs and boilers could be BANNED in new homes within six years due to carbon emissions targetsNEW homes should be built without boilers, gas hobs and gas radiators in just six years’ time in a bid to cut down on carbon emissions, a committee has warned. The Committee on Climate Change… Politicians will come weekly with a load of hot air instead to warm things up Why then are we intent on fracking for more shale gas? Between this and the woodburners/open fires,10's of thousands are going to die....drain the swamp,put people with common sense only up for election!
