The Bethesda, Maryland-based Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has a staff of roughly 500, plans to open public comment on hazards posed by gas stoves later this winter. Besides barring the manufacture or import of gas stoves, options include setting standards on emissions from the appliances, Trumka said.
Parallel efforts by state and local policymakers are targeting the use of natural gas in buildings more broadly, in a push to reduce climate-warming emissions that exacerbate climate change. Nearly 100 cities and counties have adopted policies that require or encourage a move away from fossil fuel powered buildings. The New York City Council voted in 2021 to ban natural gas hookups in new buildings smaller than seven stories by the end of this year.
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, which represents gas range manufacturers such as Whirlpool Corp., says that cooking produces emissions and harmful byproducts no matter what kind of stove is used. Natural gas distributors, whose business is threatened by the growing push to electrify homes, argue that a ban on natural gas stoves would drive up costs for homeowners and restaurants with little environmental gain. The American Gas Association, which represents utilities such as Dominion Energy Inc. and DTE Energy Co., said in a statement that regulatory and advisory agencies responsible for protecting residential consumer health and safety have presented no documented risks from gas stoves.

Brought to you buy the same type of researchers that said masks work and the jab prevented covid. When you pay someone to write a report you always get the answer that you pay for.
I guess no one in their administration has ever worked in construction or cracked a book on building codes. Thats why we have overhead vents.
Know whats worse? Cars.
clearly this expands on the multimillion dollar studies on cow dung and the mating habits of the aardvark.
Ridiculous. Childhood asthma is more linked to caretakers who smoke, elderly boilers in high density apartment buildings, massive urban pollution, and failure to touch grass than to cooking.
really？
their is no low they will go to push their agenda
Of all the things to ban in America…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩
What about smoking while pregnant? Since there are a lot of people I know who do that while their kid was in the womb or around people who smoke. Let's divert the issues from the real issues. Because they do that lot in that down there.
What about restaurants? Most only use gas.....I feel it is not the gas it is Teflon....people been cooking with fire and gas for centuries and longer. I would ban smoking first over gas ranges.
