Nolte: Fact-Checkers Busted Again — Biden Seeks to Eliminate 96% of Gas Stoves

It wasn’t until America’s crooked fact-checkers said Joe Biden had no intention of banning gas stoves that I was certain Joe Biden would ban gas stoves. And now we know he is — 96 percent of them.

“Yes, the Biden administration is coming for your gas stove,” writes Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) in the Washington Examiner.

It’s a backdoor ban by way of outrageous regulations only four percent of gas stoves will meet. And it’s being done, not through democracy and our elected representatives, but by fascist bureaucrats in the Department of Energy.

Yes, Virginia, the Deep State is real…

The Department of Energy is conducting this gas stove grab through a rule that would impose extreme energy performance standards on residential cooktops. The department’s proposed rule sets requirements for gas cooktops at the maximum technologically feasible or “max-tech” level. Based on the Department of Energy’s own analysis, gas cooktops at the max-tech level represent just 4% of current market share and exclude all conventional free-stand ranges.

Any rule that causes 96% of the products available today to be eliminated from the market is an extreme regulation. In fact, it is essentially an outright ban on gas stoves.

Back in January, news broke that the Biden administration was seeking to ban gas stoves. This breaking news did not come from anonymous sources or out of thin air. It came from an on-the-record interview with Biden Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka, Jr.:

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

My house, built in 1961, has had gas stove and central heating and water heater since day one. It does not have wiring for electric stove or water heater

Mine, built in 1950 was all gas, clothes dryer too. I replaced the water heater about 10 years ago with electric and can’t remember why but when it wears out, I’m going back to gas, if they’re still available by then.

We also have gas dryer. We had electric dryer at our old house. It’s a world of difference. Clothes are dryer quicker, are fluffier and cost less to dry!.................

[P.O.E.]

I hate my electric stove. After 20 years, still have a hard time regulating the stovetop temperatures. With gas, you can actually see what’s happening. And forget about trying to fold an omelette and finish on a tilted pan.

I’ve looked at converting to gas, but I’d end up spending more on the infrastructure than the stove itself.
