Despite repeated claims that the Biden is not going to take away your gas stove, the Biden administration is preparing regulations that will take away your gas stove.<\/p>\n
On Ssturday, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n A new regulation<\/a> proposed by the Department of Energy<\/a> (DOE) would block half of current gas stove<\/a> models from the market, an analysis by the federal agency shows.<\/strong><\/p>\n In a proposed regulation published at the beginning of February, DOE set a maximum annual gas consumption of 1,204 thousand British thermal units (kBtu), also known as the EL 2 standard, for all gas cooking tops.<\/strong><\/p>\n If the new regulation is finalized, only half of gas cooking tops will be able to meet the new standard, i.e., half of the products currently on the market will be blocked.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDOE estimates that nearly half of the total gas cooking top market currently achieves EL 2 and therefore would not be impacted by the proposed standard, if finalized,\u201d DOE said in an updated analysis (pdf<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n DOE issued the updated analysis mainly because it excluded certain types of gas cooking tops in the previous analysis that was published on Feb. 1 (pdf<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n Only 4 percent of the gas coo<\/strong>king tops in 2027 could meet the EL 2 standard if the new standard was not implemented, according to DOE\u2019s projection in the previous analysis.<\/p>\n The article continues:<\/p>\n The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) said they\u2019re \u201cvery concerned\u201d about the direction of the DOE.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThey have released the most stringent proposal for gas ranges, which only a sliver of the market can meet,\u201d Jill Notini, industry spokesperson for AHAM, told The Epoch Times. \u201cIt\u2019s very concerning what they\u2019re doing with gas products. We believe that there should be consumer choice and that consumers should be able to make a decision on whether they would like to purchase a gas or electric product.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cClearly, the Department of Energy\u2019s intentions are to eliminate gas products from the market. And they should just say that instead of releasing a deceptive and flawed analysis to justify their proposal,\u201d Notini added.<\/strong><\/p>\n We let the government ruin our showers, our dishwashers and our washing machines. Are we going to let them ruin cooking?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Despite repeated claims that the Biden is not going to take away your gas stove, the Biden administration is preparing regulations that will take away your gas stove.
