Banning one type of a cooking appliance is not going to address the concerns about overall indoor air quality,” she added. “We may need some behavior change, we may need [people] to turn on their hoods when cooking"

Last time this was brought up somebody on here said that anyone who didn't have an exhast fan over their gas stove should be shot! Of course everyone will be sent to reedjucation camp to get their minds right .”

Safety commissioner backtracks on threat to ban gas stoves after backlash, but emphasizes ‘regulation’​

January 10, 2023 | Kevin Haggerty

Word had barely gotten out about the latest potential overreach from the federal government before swift outcry triggered prompt backpedaling and the claims began, “To be clear…”

Following the release of a study that suggested some cases of childhood asthma were “attributable” to the use of gas stoves in residential homes, Richard Trumka Jr., the commissioner of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) acknowledged that a ban was within reason for “products that can’t be made safe.”

Monday, Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, was among those decrying such micromanagement of the American household as he tweeted, “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.”


In response, Trumka, the son of the late AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, contended via quote tweet, “Thanks for your interest! To be clear, CPSC isn’t coming for anyone’s gas stoves. Regulations apply to new products. For Americans who CHOOSE to switch from gas to electric, there is support available–Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act which includes a $840 rebate.”

The study led by the Rocky Mountain Institute claimed that roughly 650,000 American children “are suffering from asthma who might not otherwise if they weren’t exposed to gas stoves.”


Brady Seals, a researcher on the study, posted that they “found that 12.7% of childhood current asthma in the US can be attributable to gas stove use” which the report stated was “similar to the childhood asthma burden attributed to secondhand smoke exposure.”



Trumka’s backtrack was far from earnest as he had expressed to Bloomberg that gas stoves posed a “hidden hazard” because of emissions and that “products that can’t be made safe can be banned.” In addition, CPSC can choose to set the standards on acceptable emissions from gas stoves, effectively removing products from the market.

Furthermore, the commissioner tweeted, “My guiding duty is protecting consumer health and safety. Gas stoves can emit dangerous level of toxic chemicals–even when not in use–and @USCPCS will consider all approaches to regulation.”



He then thanked the “excellent journalism” of Bloomberg’s Ari Natter for his reporting on the story.

Gas stoves were already zeroed in on last year by climate doomsayers as a contributing factor in pumping an estimated 2.4 million metric tons of methane into the atmosphere yearly. That, it was reported, was an estimable equivalent to the amount of annual greenhouse gases from 500,000 cars.

Adding further nuance to the hypocrisy of the powers that be and the likelihood that this was another slapdash effort by The Science™ to cart out experts to support their selection of winners and losers, Amy Curtis shared an oh-so-awkward image of first lady Jill Biden cooking at a gas stovetop.

CPSC is expected to be accepting comments on potential regulations of gas stoves over the winter.

Tell me you dont cook much without telling me you dont cook much:lmao: Gas is far and away superior to electric cook tops when it comes to heat, speed of heating, and temperature control. Coil electrics are good as well, but not on the same level as gas. Glass cooktops are TRASH.
 
Sure thing, let me just convert all my gas appliances to electric in my house that has 100A service... I'll just make sure my well, water heater, AC, stove, and clothes dryer aren't on while I'm trying to charge my government mandated electric car.
 

Extreme heat and dehydration can lead to kidney disease, researchers say

In Nepal, a large number of young men who worked abroad in extreme temperatures are returning home affected by kidney disease.

It's at the point now where nothing these idiots do phases me anymore. They will say anything to pander to the simplest of things and it's completely moronic. Talk about a knee jerk reaction to a problem that doesn't exist.

I'd kill to see the chef in the white house whip up all Joe's meals with a fucking electric cooktop. Hell, it's probably all just microwaved and blended with his Ensure everyday anyway. Fuck these idiots

Well golly gosh, you work outside and sweat your ass off with not enough water and you get kidney disease. Fucking shocker right there. Drink more water. Unless you're in Cali where they don't have any. Oh wait, now they have water, sorta, but not in the right places to have enough water.
 
WOW...........

I personally dont like gas shit, I built my house with all electric.... But after that, that makes me want to convert to gas....... :flipoff2:
 
I'll tell you what, a lot of people around here with central heat are pretty fucking cold right now. My grandparents were sitting in the dark, nice and toasty with their gas wall heater working like a champ.

You would think that between this and their war on generators people would realize that the government hates you and wants to be able to switch off your life if they decide to.

Dunno where you live. Anyone living in a cold northern location will struggle to heat a house on electric, or have to take out a loan to fund it.

:lmao:
I guarantee my heating bill is less than yours and on electric. PNW is power rich and rates are fantastic. Everyone up here heats with electric if on grid. Pellets/wood if off grid and for a backup. Very rarely see gas used for anything outside of stoves and fireplaces.
 
Unfucking real. Your child is more likely to develop asthma due to sitting on his lazy ass all weekend playing video games not the gas stove that runs for 30 minutes a day.
