The news that the federal government is seriously considering a ban on the sale of gas stoves caught many normal Americans off guard. It shouldn’t have. Nor should they believe it when a regulator says they won’t actually ever ban the thing.
In recent decades, regulators have wormed their way into every corner of our lives – banning some products, ruining others, and pricing others out of reach of working families – all allegedly for our benefit. The only thing that’s surprising is that they hadn’t targeted gas stoves earlier.
This week, the Consumer Product Safety Commission Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. said that gas appliances – used in 40 million U.S. homes and every commercial kitchen on the planet – are in fact a “hidden hazard” that could be banned if they can’t be “made safe.”
A ban, he said, “is a powerful tool in our toolbox and it’s a real possibility here, particularly because there seem to be readily available alternatives already in the market.”
Trumka points to research claiming that gas stoves are linked to childhood asthma. But as National Review points out, the “research” was “funded by RMI, an environmental group with the radical goal of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by 50% within the next seven years,” and it “was not based on any actual scientific research into the effects on the body of having a gas stove in the house during normal use.”
In other words, this is junk science, pure and simple. Yet, instead of attacking this flagrant display of misinformation, the ignoramuses in the mainstream press are all too happy to amplify it.
That’s because the real reason for talking up a federal ban on gas stoves has nothing to do with health and safety. It has everything to do with the climate “crisis.”

The handy gas can died because of a slew of lawsuits in the name of people who did dumb things such as pouring gasoline on an open fire.
With my can, I simply remove the silly nozzle and pour the gasoline into my lawnmower using a funnel.
I’m certain my underwear are dingy thanks to no phosphates in my laundry detergent.
I look forward to your upcoming Off The Back Of A Truck sale.
First it’s the gas stove, then the gas furnace, gas powered clothes dryer, etc. Go onto electric, which can be strictly rationed by the utility, etc.
We live in difficult times. :)
Comrades you will have noting and you will like it.

#50 I used a nail and punched the holes bigger in the shower head.
they also took away the flushing capacity of our toilets and let crap remain in the toilet after flushing.
“Bud, the toilets of today aren’t worthy of the name. They come in designer colors and they’re too low. And when you flush them, they make this little weak, almost apologetic sound. Not the Ferguson. It only comes in white. And when you flush it, ‘BA-WOOSH’. That’s a man’s flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, ‘I’m a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot’.”

Great post! They’re coming for your gas cars, your oil burners, your 401. They’ve already come for your doctors, freedom of speech on social networks, even a POTUS,etc. Yes we’re in serious trouble.
“The toilets! Don’t forget the toilets!”
YEAH! That one really pisses me off.
