A recent study that linked gas-burning stoves to childhood asthma cases was backed by two nonprofits that are pushing for Americans to adopt electric stoves.
The study, which states that the stoves account for about 12.7% of childhood asthma cases in the U.S., was partly funded by RMI, a group that seeks to “accelerate the clean energy transition,” and co-authored by Brady Seals, the manager of RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings arm that aims to retrofit buildings with electric appliances. The study was also co-authored by Rewiring America (RA) Research Associate Talor Gruenwald, who previously worked on RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings team; RA is a nonprofit that is “focused on electrifying everything” in communities across America, according to its website.
The authors of the study declared that there were no conflicts of interest associated with their research.
RMI, which used the study to promote stove electrification, has received millions in donations from Breakthrough Energy, a green energy investment firm founded by Bill Gates, as well as the Bezos Earth Fund and Bloomberg Philanthropies, according to the RMI 2022 donors report.
RA, which called the study “groundbreaking,” states on its website that “every single retirement of any machine that runs on fossil fuels is an opportunity for electrification.” The group celebrated the passage of the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a bill that offers subsidies to households that electrify old appliances such as gas stoves, and created an IRA “calculator” to show individuals how much money one can receive from the subsidies.
The study was produced using a meta-analysis, in which researchers gathered independent studies that documented the effects of gas cooking on children and used statistical methods to combine the results of previous research.

Pay the 10% guy for anything you want!
Wake me up when the hanging starts.
One cannot turn a gas stove into a smart appliance! This is why they want to ban them.
The best government money can buy.
Well duh
Always...Always...Always....Follow the Money!
12.7%? Does that mean electric stoves account for the remaining 87.3%?
They’re also tied in with the WEF.
There’s an awesome thread on Tweater of pics of Dems/libs cooking on gas stoves
FLOTUS
AOC
Beta O’Dork
Gavin Newsom
Booty-Gig
Greta Thunberg
Fauxcahontas (hers says the methane is stolen from tribal lands)
Can’t turn gas filled politicians into smart appliances either.
They want to bring back old Sparky!
Someday the media will realize ALL studies are paid for by someone with an agenda.
Science isn’t free.
“the effects of gas cooking on children”
I’m 71. I’ve known thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of children. Most of them died because of asthma caused by gas stoves. It’s a massive tragedy.
Its worse with medical “research” articles published by major medical journals. Often the “studies” are funded by pharmaceutical companies who just happen to have a vested interest in the outcomes. They also pay the statisticians who don’t get paid until they submit their final findings. Somehow when in the edition that features the article, large full page expensive ads extolling the same pharmaceutical company’s drug are featured. Medical journal editor’s are very highly paid. Ethical physicians are suspicious of not only the FDA, the CDC but also the medical journals they once trusted.
Not surprising at all. Pilot lights, if they still exist should be eliminated, imo.
Hanging is too slow a process. There are far too many potential customers.
As a automation control engineer I recommend a conveyor belt in front of a earth berm. A photo eye could detect each body as it passes and cause a solenoid to pull the trigger for a short 50 cal burst. The conveyor could end above a garbage scow to dispose of the carcasses at sea.
