Gas stoves 🔥

The Department of Energy says the vast majority of gas stoves on the market meet President Biden’s new energy efficiency standards. In other words, gas stoves will not be banned in the US anytime soon. This comes after a Biden administration official set off a firestorm a year ago when he suggested the Consumer Product Safety Commission could ban gas stoves because they have been linked to childhood asthma. However, the agency this week said 97% of gas stoves already meet the new standards that aim to decrease harmful carbon dioxide emissions. At least 77% of smooth-top electric ranges already meet the new standards as well.
