The White House lied and said this was not true.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Banning gas stoves in the US will save the planet. Do not worry about China’s use of fossil fuels!

 

[ozro]

So most appliances are made in other countries. Perhaps the Mexican Cartels will start smuggling Chinese appliances across the southern border.

 

[JGalt]

We need more gas ovens to rid the world of liberals.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

They can have my gas stove when they pry my cast iron frying pan from my cold, dead hands!

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (“EPCA”), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including consumer conventional cooking products. EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to periodically determine whether more-stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (“SNOPR”), DOE proposes new and amended energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking products, and also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.

Republicans are such drama queens, just like their dear leader.
Say's NOTHING about gas powered stoves.

It's a PUBLIC meeting.

No! Tell me it ain't so. Biden lied? But he said he would never lie. Well, I guess everyone is entitle to one. Or two. Or three. Or one thousand.

Peak hobo rocket stoves.

And yet another right wing conspiracy theory becomes conspiracy fact.

Remember when inflation was transitory?
Rona was definitely natural from a wet market?
Replacement theory was insane?
Clot shots were safe & effective?
The Feds never spied on the DT campaign?
Rona & climate models models were accurate?
Masks would stop an airborne virus?

Tip of the iceberg on all the lies they tell the public & then claim it's all for our own good once they become facts

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers—which represents Whirlpool and other top brands—is quoted telling readers that the plan “could effectively ban gas appliances.” The American Gas Association is ever so slightly more tempered, warning that its “another attempt by the Federal government to use regulations to remove viable and efficient natural gas products from the market.”

There’s only one problem: the Department of Energy (DOE) has proposed no such thing. By law, DOE could not set energy efficiency standards that ban gas stoves even if it wanted to.

Bloomberg News Duped by Stove Industry; Hypes False Claim that Efficiency Rule Would Ban Gas Models | ASAP Appliance Standard Awareness Project

A blockbuster Bloomberg News article Wednesday appeared to uncover surprising news: recently proposed Department of Energy efficiency standards for stoves are “drawing fear from the industry that the regulation could effectively end the use of some products from the market.”

appliance-standards.org

The DOE stove efficiency proposal—published on the agency’s website in December and in the Federal Register this week—would set separate standards for electric smooth cooktops, electric coil cooktops, and gas cooktops. It turns out that among electric smooth cooking tops and also among gas models, there are wide variations in the efficiency of today’s products. For these two types, DOE estimates that its proposed standards would reduce energy use by about 30% each to do the same amount of cooking, relative to the least-efficient products of those types on the market today.

For gas stoves, DOE’s analysis found that “optimized burner and grate design” in models (including optimizing “grate weight, flame angle, distance from burner ports to the cooking surface”) could help them achieve the proposed efficiency levels. But is that reasonably doable, or, as the manufacturers suggest, is this really just a ban?

Fortunately, DOE checked. It turns out that for the generally lower-priced gas stove types sold today, many would already meet the proposed standard (in this case known as “max-tech”). As the proposal puts it, "Gas cooking tops with thinner non-continuous grates typically are at max-tech.”

In fact, DOE has now said that “every major manufacturer has products that meet or exceed the requirements proposed today—including nearly 50% of the current gas cooktop market that will not be impacted by this proposal.”

When are the lizard people going to be exposed?

 

[Blaster]

So why did the WH lie about this?

Because that is how they roll.

 

[Polishprince]

Natural gas is considered a "fossil fuel", and libs like Sleepy Joe just want clean electricity.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Natural Gas is one of the cleanest and abundant energy sources.
Too bad Pelosi doesn't know that it is a fossil fuel.

Wait a second, fellas, Ukraine needs our gas, who are we to complain or deny them?

Joe Biden's Department of Energy just moved to ban nearly all gas stoves​

My gas stove is going nowhere, and no one who actually likes to cook food or cooks for a living will abide by it. Besides, the DOE is an unelected agency with no authority whatsoever to legislate, that is the purview of the congress, so the action is illegal.
