The snickering can be heard all the way from Beijing...
The call to ban gas stoves in the U.S., based on environmental concerns, certainly drew backlash from an angry public tired of seeing their household appliances, critical possessions and standard of living being targeted.
After all, they've already gotten our incandescent light bulbs and flush toilets in many quarters. They've meddled with the design of our cars and guns. They're trying to get our meat, telling us to eat bugs instead. Many consumers, and professional chefs, who say gas is best for cooking, simply put their collective foot down.
Where did this lunacy come from?
About where you'd expect -- from our enemies.
According to the Washington Free Beacon:
The green energy group behind a study cited in Consumer Product Safety commissioner Richard Trumka Jr.'s call to ban gas stoves has partnered with the Chinese government to implement an "economy-wide transformation" away from oil and gas.
Colorado-based nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute, which published the December study that attributes 13 percent of U.S. childhood asthma cases to gas-stove use, is hardly staffed by an objective group of scientists.
The organization is demanding "systemic change and economy-wide transformation" to address a climate crisis it says we must go to great lengths to avoid. In 2013, for example, the Rocky Mountain Institute joined forces with China's National Development and Reform Commission—the government agency tasked with planning the communist nation's economy—to produce a report that advised China to replace existing appliances and generators with "clean energy technologies."

We are literally funding our own demise.
Might be time to buy a Franklin stove!
Bill Gates also!
"They tell us to stuff our vax and the masks, insist on burning petroleum, and the guns - what's with that 'come and take them' mantra?
"Why can't they be more compliant like thier Canadian and Aussie cousins?"
To answer the question in the headline, yes, I did briefly wonder what this was all about. Then, I just assumed it another idiotic environmental crusade that was based on lies. Glad I didn’t dig in to just confirm that.
“they’ve already gotten our incandescent light bulbs and flush toilets in many quarters.”
Red Herrings BOTH!
Low flow toilets saves us BILLIONS and BILLIONS of gallons of fresh water and produced BILLIONS and BILLIONS of gallons less sewage.
A VERY GOOD thing.
Incandescent light bulbs are little better than candles! The LED lights are a DRAMATIC step forward in saving energy and money. The incandescent light bulbs are a YUGE waste of energy!
But they talk like conservatives, sometimes. 🤣
Little Dick Trumka Jr. whose bastardly biological parent proudly stated “We shoved Obamacare down the Republicans’ throats” right after Nanzi Polizei got it passed so she could read it and find out what was in it.
“...there are many Republicans involved also.”
Indeed there are. Just yesterday Gov. Kemp (R-GA) received an award and standing ovation at Davos for helping elect Joe Biden over Trump.
Richard Trumka Jr. daddy was president of AFL-CIO the Chinese love making deals with made men.

You miss the point. Solutions by Government mandate from planners instead of engineers carefully reacting to demands and available technology made both of those switchovers ineffective and problematic.
There was a period of ten years where we flushed twice instead of once because the damn mandated toilets did not work. Why didn’t they work? Because they were not yet engineered to work due t sudden mandate. We wasted time and then not only bought those revised toilets but then had to replace them with low water toilets that did work long before they should have needed replacement — wastefulness to the max.
Bulbs were the same. The first ten years were poor quality, expensive and wasteful in cost. It is the government mandate that is the problem, not the concept but the implementation.
Anyone remember when CA made Pioneer Plasma tv illegal?
The Kuro was killed off and Samsung captured the market.
I still have my Kuro!
Trumka is the son of the Terrorist UAW President Richard Trumka who led the United Mine Workers on a terrorist strike in South West Virginia.
The camo clad UMWA miners, wives, children and Nuns destroyed property, entered and illegally occupied private property, impeded the public hiways and generally threatened the SW Virginia economy
The spawn of a terrorist should be stricken from America
>Sadly it is not limited to just Democrats, as there are many Republicans involved also.<
That’s our #1 biggest problem! eGOP POS!
Or maybe not...
