ALERT: It’s Not Just Gas Stoves — Here Are Other Home Appliances Democrats Are Coming For
And, you thought light bulbs and gas cans were ruined by our congress. Wait until this disaster unfolds over the next two years before Republicans can roll it back . . .
(Republican Insider) – Earlier in the month, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, under the leadership of President Joe Biden, stated that it was opposed to gas stoves and was actively searching for a way they could eliminate them. Because the government always knows what is best for you, right? Just give in and let them care for you from cradle-to-the-grave. What could possibly go wrong?
After all, this will help protect the planet. You want to save the earth for future generations, don’t you? I mean, only an evil, vile Republican would want to pollute the environment with a gas stove.
Yes, the federal government wants to take away our ability to choose what kind of stove we use in our own homes. But, according to Warner Todd Houston from The Western Journal, that’s not the only thing the CPSC wants to ban.
“On Jan. 9, the CPSC pointed out that about 35 percent of U.S. households use gas stoves, and then warned of the dangers of their use,” Houston wrote. “CPSC commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. presented research from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health that claimed that gas stoves are a ‘hidden hazard,’ and added that ‘Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.'”
MY GUIDING DUTY IS PROTECTING CONSUMER HEALTH AND SAFETY. GAS STOVES CAN EMIT DANGEROUS LEVEL OF TOXIC CHEMICALS – EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE – AND @USCPSC WILL CONSIDER ALL APPROACHES TO REGULATION. THANK YOU @ARINATTER AND @BUSINESS FOR EXCELLENT JOURNALISM. HTTPS://T.CO/HJJCPWMBP7

“After the expected ruckus was kicked up by those who found this latest autocratic outrage to be a bit too much, the CPSC rushed out a follow-up statement saying, ‘The Commission has not proposed regulatory action at this time. Commission staff also continues to work with voluntary standards organizations to examine gas stove emissions and address potential hazards,'” Houston noted.
Note the usage of the phrase “at this time.”
What really complicates the matter is that the move was inspired by a study, which was then used by CPSC, that issued a warning stating that gas stoves promoted asthma in children. However, this study was funded in part by RMI, a group that is seeking to “accelerate the clean energy transition,” and was also co-authored by Brady Seals, who just so happens to be the manager of RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings section, which wants to retrofit buildings with electric appliances. Gee, it’s almost like a conflict of interest here, isn’t it? How can we be sure the data from the study is accurate and not the result of bias? We can’t. And that’s the problem.
“In turn, RMI, which used the study to promote stove electrification, has received at least $1 million in donations from Breakthrough Energy, a “green energy” investment firm founded by Bill Gates, as well as the Bezos Earth Fund and Bloomberg Philanthropies, according to the 2022 RMI donors report,” Houston remarked.
Trumka had also been attempting — and failing miserably — to get gas stoves banned outright since October, as per info published by the Washington Examiner.
This is just one more aspect of the strategy that Biden is trying to put in place to bring the use of natural gas to an end, along with other fossil fuels.
“Then the hypocrisy of it all went viral when images of Jill Biden, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez using gas stoves in their homes hit social media,” the article continued.
BIDEN WILL BAN GAS STOVES FOR NORMAL PEOPLE. NOT FOR ELITES. THIS IS SOVIET AMERICA: RULES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME. HTTPS://T.CO/WHPXUFBTXY

But, as you now know, the radical left never just stops with banning one thing, or placing some sort of obnoxious and freedom-limiting legislation out there on a specific, small, insignificant liberty. Which, of course, doesn’t exist, because all liberty is significant. No, they always want to push further and further.
“But gas stoves aren’t the only thing climate scolds and the radicals in the Biden administration want to take away from us all. There is a growing list of other modern conveniences these advocates of stone age living want to destroy. The Democrats and their extremist climate change allies want to take away items from nearly every room of our homes, according to Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute,” Houston continued.
“There’s bad news for almost every room in the house,” Lieberman said during an interview with Fox News Digital. “Climate activists and the Biden administration want homeowners to stop using natural gas and to electrify everything. That would affect appliances that come in natural gas and electric versions such as stoves, but also heating systems and water heaters.”
“So, there are efforts underway to tilt the balance in favor of electric versions even though natural gas is considerably cheaper on a per-unit energy basis. It makes sense to give consumers that choice rather than force them towards electric,” the writer asserted.
So what are some of the other items that Biden wants banned? Try water heaters, furnaces, clothes washers, dishwashers, ceiling fans, microwave ovens, and shower heads. All of this to push a ridiculous climate initiative.
Just last year, the Biden administration tried to push a total of 110 new regulations into the market as a means of strangling products that climate activists hate.
“I think there are some real problems from a consumer’s standpoint when you start to reduce choices — I would say that you’re never doing consumers a favor when you’re reducing choices and forcing them to take eco-friendly models which will be on the market regardless,” Lieberman revealed. “The question is: Do we want mandates that force that choice on everyone, especially when it’s the more expensive option upfront?”
