Is a propane or electric stove greener?

Question

I am going to buy a new stove.. which is greener, propane or electric? There are already propane tanks for the pool heater so a line would just have to be run to the stove.

Answer 1

propane is the greener of the two

Answer 2

propane

Answer 3

Most electricity is generated by coal, so it's a choice of one petroleum product vs. another.  Neither one is especially green, but since you already have the propane line installed you might consider going with it.  Natural gas stoves are convertable to propane.

Answer 4

its like the old saying 12 of one or 1/2 dozen of the other..neither are green. So if you already have the set up for the propane go with that.

good question!

Answer 5

White, green, avocado, black or stainless?  As to the environment, when you burn the propane at home are you more efficient than the generating plant with it's emission controls?  The eletric generating industry has many exhaust gas requirements that you do not.  Go electric.

Answer 6

Not sure which is "greener" but the propane is a better stove.
