You’ll take my gas stove from my cold raw hands!

Good day all. Recently, the Maladministration announced that they were looking into banning gas stoves and ovens. There are about 40 million homes that have gas stoves, (Including the Anger Central Primary Dwelling), and something like 75% of restaurants use them. Needless to say, this cause a major uproar.

We also had the “Usual Suspects,” such as Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, shooting off their mouths in favor of banning the stoves and forcing people to go to coal fired stoves. (Electric ovens) AOC went so far as to say that using a gas oven causes brain damage. Many assumed she was speaking from personal experience.

When this potential ban came out, people and members of Congress demanded that the agency pushing it, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, explain their justification. In a not at all surprising move, the commission refused. Here are the details from Fox New:

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the federal agency that is weighing a potential ban on new natural gas-powered stoves, refused to point to any specific studies to justify its interest in regulating the appliance when asked Wednesday by Fox News Digital.

CPSC spokesperson Patty Davis told Fox News Digital in a brief phone interview that the agency wouldn’t cite a specific study since it had yet to begin its regulatory process. When pressed on which research led the commission to weigh the ban in the first place, the spokesperson said there was broad research on the topic and referred Fox News Digital to media reports on the topic.

“There is a significant body of work on this topic from a variety of sources,” Davis said in an email following the call, still declining to point to a specific study.

From what I’ve been able to find, there is no such research and they made this up out of whole cloth. Why? It’s meant as a back door attempt tp impose part of the “Green New Deal” on an unwilling America.

The agency’s refusal to cite specific studies showing the potential harms of gas stoves came after CPSC Chairman Alexander Hoehn-Saric said earlier in the day that “research” shows there stoves can cause harm.

“Research indicates that emissions from gas stoves can be hazardous, and the CPSC is looking for ways to reduce related indoor air quality hazards,” Hoehn-Saric said in the statement shared with Fox News Digital.

The only way there can be any issues with using natural gas is if the utilities in question haven’t been properly vented. If this is the case, then you have building ordinances that haven’t been followed, and that is a local matter, not something the tyrants in the federal bureaucracies to deal with.

The CPSC chairman added that he wasn’t “looking to ban gas stoves,” but that the commission would ask the public for information about gas stove emissions and potential solutions in the coming months.

“CPSC is researching gas emissions in stoves and exploring new ways to address any health risks,” he added. “CPSC also is actively engaged in strengthening voluntary safety standards for gas stoves.” 

In other words, they fully intend to ban these stoves and order them removed from peoples homes and businesses regardless of costs to the home and business owners.

Hoehn-Saric’s comments come days after a Bloomberg report highlighting that the CPSC was moving forward with a review of gas stoves’ impacts on public health. CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told the outlet that “any option is on the table” and that unsafe products can be banned, noting that gas stoves were a “hidden hazard.”

Trumka Jr. also said the idea that cooking had to be done on gas stoves was a “carefully manicured myth.”

In case you weren’t aware of it, this bozo is the son of the former head of the AFL-CIO union, and like all union heads, was as crooked as the day is long. Obviously, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree and his spawn is fully on board with dictating what people may or may not do, just like any other fascist pig. I also doubt that he has any idea how to boil water, let alone actually cook a meal. (Throwing a frozen pizza into a microwave doesn’t count) Yes, you can use electric, but gas heats up much faster and can be tuned better then electric.

In its report, Bloomberg pointed to a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in December which tied 12% of childhood asthma cases to gas stoves. The CPSC hasn’t publicly cited the study or any other related research.

I suspect that if they don’t cite a study, then it can’t be debunked as a load of horse manure.

The study, though, has also faced scrutiny since it was funded in part by RMI, a non-profit research group that advocates for aggressive green policies and works to “transform global energy systems across the real economy.” The two lead authors, Talor Gruenwald and Brady Seals, are RMI researchers who have contributed to the group’s “carbon-free buildings” initiative.

Since this story broke, the White House was pummeled over it and walked it back almost immediately.

Later on Wednesday, a senior administration official told FOX Business that the White House didn’t support banning gas stoves.

Now the regulators have come to the conclusion that banning gas stoves would not be a good idea and have walked it back. Here are those details from CBS News:

A federal regulator has walked back comments about banning gas stoves after backlash to the idea of a ban reached a fever pitch this week. 

Calling it a backlash would be like calling an F5 Tornado a light breeze.

Rep. Byron Donald (R-Fla.) tweeted at President Biden to “get your hands off our gas stoves!!!!”

“If you know ANYTHING about cooking, there is nothing like cooking on a gas stove,” he said.

By Tuesday afternoon, the chair of the CPSC clarified that, while the commission is looking at ways to make stoves safer, there would be no ban in the immediate future. 

“I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so,” he said. “CPSC is researching gas emissions in stoves and exploring ways to address health risks.”

Trumka also clarified that any ban would apply to new products — not gas stoves Americans currently own.

I don’t think so Tim.

This is just another case of bureaucratic overreach, and people have just about had it. There is another report that the ATF is about to turn 10’s of millions of American int criminals over a chunk of metal plastic that does nothing but act as a brace, but that is a story for another post.

We’re also seeing many cities and a few states banning natural gas usage, and every single one of them is a Democrat controlled and run location. We are now seeing, in my humble opinion, the end game of the Democrat Party and the regulatory Fascist state they’ve been working to develop for almost a century.

The Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, saw the threat the regulatory agencies are and started cracking down on them. They ignored him and worked to overthrow the will of the American Voters. Now they are going all in on tearing up the Constitution and imposing Rule by Regulatory Decree. This can not end well and Congress needs to stomp on this now.
