The timing here is genuinely ridiculous. It’s as if the federal government, specifically the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, led by… Richard Trumka Jr (yes, that guy’s son)… doesn’t think or care that we can see the real issue is to change energy uses.
Now that Russia has been isolated from natural gas sales, the European Union needs the supply of all other natural gas markets in order to keep itself from freezing to death. Simultaneously, natural gas as an energy resource is now bad, terrible like oil and coal, amid the climate change cult.
So, they need to change the narrative and stop people from using natural gas appliances.
Suddenly, after generations of natural gas appliances existing in almost half of the kitchens, suddenly the appliances are toxic, dangerous and likely to require a ban against use.
(Bloomberg) – A federal agency says a ban on gas stoves is on the table amid rising concern about harmful indoor air pollutants emitted by the appliances.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to take action to address the pollution, which can cause health and respiratory problems. “This is a hidden hazard,” Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, said in an interview. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Natural gas stoves, which are used in about 40% of homes in the US, emit air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter at levels the EPA and World Health Organization have said are unsafe and linked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and other health conditions, according to reports by groups such as the Institute for Policy Integrity and the American Chemical Society. Consumer Reports, in October, urged consumers planning to buy a new range to consider going electric after tests conducted by the group found high levels of nitrogen oxide gases from gas stoves.
New peer-reviewed research published last month in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that more than 12% of current childhood asthma cases in the US can be attributed to gas stove use. (read more)
Its peer reviewed they say. Carved in stone tablets it must be… Just like the vaccine and other health papers and studies… Swear.
Comrade citizens, you must gather twigs, carry flint rocks, eat bugs and sustainable algae cakes, and adapt your parasitic lifestyle to become the best citizen that planet earth deserves. There can be no gas appliances in your tiny house.
All good comrade citizens who care about their carbon footprint are removing gas stoves and returning to heating water atop open fires in order to comply with the permitted bathing requirement each month, while staying safely your water distribution allotment.

NO ONE IS TAKING MY GAS STOVE!!!!!!!!
Republicans just say NO,no bureaucrat has the right to do these things.If the people want this contact your congressman to put it before the people that represent you & put it to a vote & impeach Trunkas son.
Natural gas is the preferred fuel for cooking as it offers greater temperature control. Aka: “more useful and convenient” and leftists can’t allow anything like that
Just watch the BBC Absolute History series ‘Victorian Farm’ and see how the lady of the house or maid had to take 4 days to do a single load of laundry. Yep, fire up the wood stove to heat all the water in the copper cooking kettle. Or use coal with large iron stove. Backbreaking and tedious. Could not leave home to pop off to do errands with unattended stoves.
I venture there are more pollutants coming off a dirty electric burner.
The only bug I’ll ever eat is floating in the bottom of a bottle of tequila. Ole’!
Homes need a fresh air exchange system. The bathroom exhaust fan actually pulls air in. to replace air exhaust.
or – one could open a window now and then while the stove is on
but then — you’d need to run your gas heating furnace or home-heating-oil furnace to heat the house back up because it got chilled from the open window
oops
one step up, two steps back
Say goodby to your outdoor pool heater, BBQ, indoor and outdoor fireplace, travel trailers, mobile homes, and trailer parks as well as camping stoves and camp fires and portable heaters at the NFL and NCAA and at outdoor restaurants everywhere.
Perhaps we should follow China’s lead and use coal to make electricity and get new electric stoves?

Bzzzzzzzzzztttttttt
Error
open fires will not be allowed from here on out, either
too smokey, gets trapped under that inversion thingy, particulates and haze and such, yada yada
Say good buy to your furnace. No heat for the Proletariat scum
Somehow water boiled in the microwave doesn’t due justice to a teabag.
The gauntlet has been tossed!
