More from the war on CH4.  And yes, this agency is headed by the son of the former top manager of the AFL-CFO.

 

U.S. safety agency to consider ban on gas stoves amid health fears

 

A federal agency says a ban on gas stoves is on the table amid rising concern about harmful indoor air pollutants emitted by the appliances.

 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to take action to address the pollution, which can cause health and respiratory problems.

 

“This is a hidden hazard,” Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, said in an interview. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”

If this doesn’t lose the Democrats  the White House and Senate, nothing will.

How is one supposed to make food during power cuts? Agreed, modern electric stoves are way more efficient than their gas counterparts, but so unrealiable during weather events...

[Mike E 11,739]

Another   problem is that if a house has a gas stove/oven, there is likely no 40A/240V circuit for an electric stove/oven.  And the home’s electrical panel likely doesn’t have capacity for another  9600 W . And the main supply from the electric utility to meter also might not have additional capacity either. So we are looking at least $10,000 just to provision the power.  But then again, Biden could just loan everyone who is impacted another  $10,000 and then forgive the debt.  
 

Or some Democrats will say that the poors can just get portable  electric stoves with single burners  that you plug into a 15A/120V circuit. There’s no fire safety issue there at all to having these things  rest on a Formica kitchen counter. 

 

So we will trade a fake carbon monoxide risk for a real fire risk.  This will kill more people for sure.

I was gonna say.

Also, what about clothes-dryers -- are they next?

Yes.

 

And wax candles.

 

ATF  (oppose it now called ATFE) will be renamed to ATFEC. We must stop grannies from making dangerous candles.

And gas powered standby generators.  Didn't CA already ban any new construction from using nat. gas?

The whackos won't be satisfied until everyone (except the oligarchs) has died of painful cold in the desired Ice Age.

I can understand.  I frequently have gas and my wife complains about my harmful indoor air pollutants.

Ask her whether you'd contribute more to global warming by emitting them outdoors, and this might mollify her.

You should frequently take Beano.

Next, they will want to ban all open flames.

I think we should have hydrogen gas stoves.  A hydrogen tank on everyone’s front yard to signal maximum ESG virtue.

Considering the flooding in California (still in an official  drought crisis btw …. they just let that rain flow into the ocean while they suck Lakes Powell and Mead dry) and the power outages, one wonders if the  ban on gasoline generators will move forward.
