Millions of Americans may soon be entering "electric stove hell." This is the craziest fucking thing I may have ever heard out of this administration, and that is REALLY saying something. These unelected bureaucrats have to be stopped at some point.
New York Post - The Biden administration is considering a nationwide ban on gas stoves - citing the harmful pollutants released by the appliances.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is mulling the action after recent studies showed emissions from the devices can cause health and respiratory problems. “This is a hidden hazard,” CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr., told the outlet. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Reports by groups including the American Chemical Society and New York University Law School’s Institute for Policy Integrity found gas stoves - which are used in about 40% of US homes - emit pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine matter at levels deemed unsafe by the Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization.
The studies also linked gas stoves to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer and other health conditions.
More than 12% of childhood asthma cases can be attributed to gas stoves, according to a report published last month by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
“There is about 50 years of health studies showing that gas stoves are bad for our health, and the strongest evidence is on children and children’s asthma,” Brady Seals, a manager in the carbon-free buildings program at the nonprofit clean energy group RMI and a co-author of the study, told Bloomberg. “By having a gas connection, we are polluting the insides of our homes.”

ReplyDeleteMore fake studies with massaged data to give an excuse to make the Greenies happy. We need to start hunting down these morons and cleaning the gene pool.
ReplyDeleteThese peoples jobs should be put up to a nationwide poll on whether they get to keep them after they make stupid pronouncements like this. It would sure help them to keep their dumb mouths shut.
