Apart from the ease of use, I seem to remember that a gas stove uses
much less gas, (about 1/3 the amount if I remember correctly?) than
the gas used to generate and deliver the equivalent amount of electric
cooking energy from a gas fired power station.

I remember an article saying that if all the electric ovens in
Melbourne households that could be changed to gas were changed, we
could do without expensive new power stations for a very long time, as
well as use our energy resources more efficiently, generate less
greenhouse gas etc.
