House Republicans call on Biden not to ban gas stoves: 'Nanny state' at its worst'
President Biden speaks at the World Leaders' Summit"Accelerating Clean Technology Innovation and Deployment" session at the COP26 Climate Conference at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, Scotland on Nov. 2, 2021.
Nevertheless, Republicans accused the president's administration of "prioritizing the environmental agenda of the Left, and ignoring science, over sound energy and economic policies." They defended gas stoves as "critical during emergency situations where electric stoves are useless, such as during power outages, which have been more frequent as unreliable ‘rush to green’ energy policies have destabilized our grid across the country.
"Anti-fossil fuel and natural gas ban ideologies are ruling the day – even in the kitchens of American households. The people who will suffer the most from these policies will be American families," the letter states. "We call upon your administration to cease all efforts at the CPSC, and any other federal agency, to ban natural gas stoves and other home appliances reliant on natural gas, and to affirm the importance of natural gas as an affordable and reliable energy and heat source for American homes, from our stoves to our furnaces," it concludes. "This country has led the way in reducing emissions in the world, and it has done so in part because of natural gas.
"The president does not support banning gas stoves. And the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is independent, is not banning gas stoves," she said.
