Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced a new bill Thursday which would prevent the Consumer Product Safety Commission from regulating the banning of gas stoves.
The Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act comes on the heels of national debate over a CPSC comissioner raising the prospect of a ban on the stoves, citing studies that show gas stoves reduce air quality in homes and can lead to an increased risk of asthma in children in some cases.
The CPSC has not considered any official recommendations to ban or limit the sale of gas stoves.
“I’ll tell you one thing, they’re not taking my gas stove out,” Manchin said at a hearing of the Senate Energy & Natural Resources on Thursday. “My wife and I would both be upset.”
That commissioner’s statements sparked online outrage from conservatives, with viral tweets of people leaving on their gas stoves in order to “troll the libs” and feature segments on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show.

Not a smash and grab. They put out the “banning Gas stoves” story just to grease the skids for another power grab. It’s what they do!
> Manchin is such a whore <
He really is. He’s taking a stand here only because it’s an easy and popular thing to do. Where’s Manchin when we really need him? He’s being bought out just like, well, a whore.
Anyway, it’s crazy that some federal bureaucrat has the power to ban anything on his own. Those guys are supposed to carry out policy, not make policy.
How the hell with the (R) congress get anything done?
The (D) senate and (D) resident will railroad and block EVERYTHING.
“Show and Tell” is the current state of affairs.
God help us.
I'm going to go ahead and recommend this article for today's Clown World consideration.
At least Manchin and Cruz are doing whats right.
Pleading for a negative. Nope.
Too Late for New York - Crazy Hochul has already banned new Gas connections - my good friends who are in the Propane business are planning to retire in 2025.
NY State is screwed.
27....you again...always stabbing at someone...even when they do something right.
hard to believe that NY’ers wanted her for another term-
He’s Linda’s twin. This is the kind of thing Graham would crusade on.
Joe’s as trustworthy as stiletto heels on ice.
What an unserious country! A bill is actually necessary to keep the tyrants from banning our best products all because the liars claim a few kids might have gotten got asthma.
Meanwhile, the Republic crumbles and Ukraine gets another lebenty seben zillion dollars to taunt the Bear.
I think it’s still in proposal stage...and she has no such power.

Democrats ruin everything. Why would this bill be necessary? Because some ossified bureaucrats have deemed it so?
Good Friends of mine live in the Binghamton Area - they sell Gas Appliances and supply propane to the rural areas - it is a family owned business - they plan to be out of business by 2025. They see no hope for Gas in the future of NY State.
What about Gas furnaces? This is so stupid. These agencies should not be able to create law- period. It is unconstitutional no matter what the corrupt USSC says.
