Is Electric cookn' m0ar efficient in the Winter?

m0ar covid-era thoughts.

If Tp4 runs dat gas,  he also has to turn on the vent-hood.

The vent pumps <heat> from the <house>,  which used even "m0ar gas" from the Furnace.

Using electric cook, "assuming not dep-fryzing",   All the heat is released into the surrounding,  and no loss from the vent.


Any gekha Hvac thoughts?

Vents suck out a considerable amount of heat. If they vent into an attic space you are losing less than if they vent into the great outdoors.

Tangentially - Many people love fireplaces but don't realize that the great majority of the heat is going straight out the chimney.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

if you are talking only about energy that you can control you electric stove will be far more efficient at heating your house than anything else, it is as close as 100% efficiency as you can get, if you are talking cost, then it is unlikely that your stove will beat your gaz heater. and for electricity i have read that in the US a lot of it still comes from gaz anyway, so you likely get overall lower efficiency if it is the case.
