A Ban on Gas Stoves
The Wall Street Journal reports Biden Is Coming for Your Gas Stove
Coercion in the cause of banning fossil fuels is no vice for the Biden Administration, which is now coming after cooks. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) could soon ban gas stoves.
CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. teased in an interview with Bloomberg News this week that the agency plans to propose new regulations for gas stoves, which could include a ban. “This is a hidden hazard,” Mr. Trumka said. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Studies flogged by the climate left don’t account for the effects of ventilation. One even sealed a test kitchen in plastic tarps in an effort to show that gas stoves increase pollution. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood, the most comprehensive global study to date, found “no evidence of an association between the use of gas as a cooking fuel and either asthma symptoms or asthma diagnosis.”
Over 40 million American households use gas stoves. This type of power should never have been given to unelected bureaucrats and it is time for it to end. https://t.co/ey1sYrDvX9

The New York Post reports the proposal caused such a backlash that Biden Official Backs Off Gas Stove Ban.
Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg that the appliances are a “hidden hazard” in a story published Monday.
“Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned,” he told the news outlet.
Trumka — the son of late AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka — later clarified that any new regulation would only pertain to new appliances after he was called out on Twitter by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.).
Actually, the CPSC did not back down. The intent is to ban it on new stoves.
Kathy Hochul’s Latest Brainstorm
Please consider New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s Latest Brainstorm
Governor Kathy Hochul recently lamented that too many people are leaving New York, and the state had to do more to get them back. The latest evidence that she has no idea how to do it is her proposal on Tuesday to ban the use of fossil fuels in all new buildings.
She’d ban the use of fossil fuels for heating and in appliances in all new small structures as early as 2025, and in larger buildings by 2028. You won’t be able to buy a natural-gas heating system in the state starting in 2030.
Meanwhile, she will make New Yorkers even more dependent on an electrical-power grid that is increasingly unreliable. The state has closed a large nuclear plant, has blocked natural gas pipelines through the state, and is making itself more dependent on offshore wind power that may not be developed.
Are You Terrified?
” The 2022 climate data is out. And it’s terrifying.”
Are you terrified?
If so, of what?Climate or the climate fearmongers? https://t.co/3jbcPomDti

Is it ok to be terrified of this? 😬 pic.twitter.com/snASKGfjGV

It makes more sense to be terrified of Biden’s and the Progressive Left’s plans to address climate change than climate change itself.
Meanwhile, I am pleased to report the Fed wants no part of this nonsense. For discussion, please see Fed Chair Warns President Biden “We will not be a climate policymaker”

Im all for a cleaner environment. But how much pollution does gas stoves cause in the big picture. Is not gas burned in the power plants these days. Imo the us should move toward renewables as a way to diversify sources of energy. So we actually independent or less dependent at least. On a household level we should be the the same. If you lose power you should have a gas gen/ wood stove/ batt solar/ gas heat or whatever works in your area.
They top out at 4 KW in boost mode.And that isn’t the only factor that makes them faster.Induction transfers 90-95% of the energy to the cookware directly while gas only transfers 35-65% because so much is lost to the air. That is why induction is up to 3x more efficient. More energy for cooking and less wasted to the surrounding air.
They voted to be a slave. Just because I’m not a coward, who needs to be ruled, you think my attitude is ignorant. But who cares about the opinions of slaves? Their opinions are given to you by your masters anyway.
I escaped from California to Thailand in 1985 and have never looked back and never regretted the choice. I have not visited the USA in over 7 years, and wonder if I will again in what remains of this life?
Nope. Gas furnace. Four gas fireplaces. Electric washer and dryer. Two electric refrigerators and two electric freezers.
Good thing Vlad’s MIRVs don’t run on natural gas.
the control system on a gas furnace is electric
