“Lawmakers, including many close allies of the oil and gas industry, are simmering — boiling over, even — about the prospect of losing their beloved gas stoves,” the HuffPost reports.
Said Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX): “I’ll never give up my gas stove. If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pry it from my cold dead hands.”
“The growing outrage stems from comments that Richard Trumka Jr., a member of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission… In an interview with Bloomberg, he floated regulating or banning new gas stoves amid mounting research that the appliances emit harmful pollutants indoors, posing risks to human health.”
However, CNN reports President Biden does not support a ban on gas stoves.
