The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee canceled a vote to advance President Biden's nominee to oversee energy efficiency regulations in an unexpected last-minute change, Fox News Digital has learned.

Committee Chairman Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., pulled an agenda item to consider Biden's nomination of Jeff Marootian to lead the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) from a scheduled panel meeting Wednesday morning. The committee had been slated to advance the nomination to a full floor vote, but will now just consider the 21 other agenda items.

"While I supported Mr. Marootian’s nomination in December, since then the office he’s been nominated to lead has proposed stove efficiency rules that I’ve raised concerns about," Manchin told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Right to gas stoves is right up there with the second amendment. Our forefathers had not intention for the government to have such powers.

Rest assured the elites will find a way to exempt themselves and their fancy restaurants from any gas stove laws.

They’ll be coming for Bic lighters next. How do you like these Bidenskyyy new American freedoms. No guns, no gas, no gas stoves, no patriotic protests without looting and burning down a Walmart but lots of free sh*t. Free rides for invaders to all of “da border towns” in the interior of the U.S. and hotel rooms where American vets were living before they were evicted so the joint could get a 100 bucks extra each night with illegal alien invaders and infiltrators living in there rooms.

There was a poll in our local newspaper (upstate NY) about what what people thought about outlawing gas stoves. 95% were against it. There were equally high numbers against the sexual transition of minors and a host of other Dem initiatives, which makes me wonder how the Dems are managing to push these things through when the vast majority of voters are against it.

The creeps reject gas stoves not because they are inefficient, but because they use methane, which the creeps consider a no-no!!

Gas heating is next, which would be a disaster!!!!

Get rid of the creeps, NOT natural gas!!!!

They’ve already banned wood stoves in some states and now they’re coming for gas stoves. Same with cars. Sure, make everything electric and then flip the power grid switch and watch the sheeple cowering at their masters’ feet.

If they are going to get rid of gas ovens, how will they dispose of those they kill? Electricity is inefficient, and electric bulldozers and backhoes? No Bueno.
