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."

Our democRATs carrying water for the Chinese communists. Who would have ever thought this would happen?
Wef,george soros,trlaterals,bilderbergers,schwaub,zelensky,and Big ELectric stove.
Ever notice that it always seems to be progressive leftist democrats who float these turds in the punchbowl of these United States. Who even Wants to drink turd-laden kool-aid? Oh...forgot. the kool-aid crowd.
Misspelled it, it is demonRAT.
Sadly it is not limited to just Democrats, as there are many Republicans involved also.

Trumka. Trumka. Where have I seen that name before?
Oh yeah. Guess who he's the son of:
Richard Louis Trumka (July 24, 1949 – August 5, 2021) was an American attorney and organized labor leader. He served as president of the United Mine Workers from 1982 to 1995, and then was secretary-general of the AFL–CIO from 1995 to 2009. He was elected president of the AFL–CIO on September 16, 2009, at the federation's convention in Pittsburgh, and served in that position until his death.
The corrupt apple doesn't fall far from the corrupt tree.
Does the Rocky Mountain institute use electricity or gas to heat their building? If they do they are posers and not serious about saving the eart.
Trumka. Isn’t he, or was it his father, who was a big union boss?
13% of children…
That means that 87% of children living in close proximity to gas stoves DON’T
have asthma, right?
Hardly a mandate.
I know, I know, “ if it saves ONE LIFE, it’s worth it!”🙄
The Dems roll out that tired old cliche of “For The Children” again! None of them are thinking of the children. They are thinking of their pocketbooks. How many of them have stock in electric companies or appliances?
Gas stoves, or gas flames of any application, do not cause asthma. No basis in science or even in speculation. The flame DOES produce water vapor, two units to each unit of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide does not cause asthma. Neither does water vapor. Both are essential to life.
Of the two, waster vapor is a MUCH more powerful “greenhouse gas” than carbon dioxide, simply because the water molecule has a “triple point” between solid, liquid, and gaseous states under normal atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions, while carbon dioxide does not. And there is WAY more water vapor in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
“Richard Trumka Jr.’s call to ban gas stoves”
That Union bastard again!
Has anybody asked what would happen to pizza ovens? Most are gas. Others are wood or coal (at least as unacceptable to greenies). I think the only place you find an electric pizza oven is in a pizza vending machine and a Sharper Image catalogue. No pizza?! Oh the humanity!
Absolutely!
Restaurants.
Almost all
That’s what makes it delightfully bipartisan. So many Democrats run as Republicans so voters who vote party straight down the ticket feel good about themselves.
I remember in univ bio class there was a definite thing with roaches and asthma. That seemed to be a thing to looked at.
