If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pry it from my cold dead hands. The hysteria that ensued when the Consumer Product Safety Commission said it would be taking a closer look at gas stoves could be summed up by a tweet from Rep. Myth 1: Biden - or federal regulators - want to take your gas stove away Here’s how to separate fact from fiction. The fracas generated some new myths about gas stove regulation - and perpetuated other long-held misunderstandings.
And plenty of defenders of the gas stove came out insisting it’s the superior way to cook.
Republicans (and some Democrats) portrayed the commissioner’s remark as a sign that the Biden administration was coming for the gas stove as its next attack on American freedom. Public health officials, researchers, and doctors have long been taking note of the abundant research linking pollution from the gas stove to respiratory problems, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced in December it was taking a look at the health risks to determine what regulations would be appropriate for the gas stove.īut after a member of the CPSC told Bloomberg in an interview last week that “products that can’t be made safe can be banned,” the fervor built quickly. The debate over the future of the gas stove has been going on for years, long before last week, when it turned into a full-fledged culture war.
