No, The Feds Aren't Coming For Your Gas Stove

Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Huffpost.com: “Why Republicans Are Having A Total Meltdown Over Gas Stoves”. Below is an excerpt from the article.

Lawmakers, including many close allies of the oil and gas industry, are simmering — boiling over, even — about the prospect of losing their beloved gas stoves.

“I’ll NEVER give up my gas stove,” Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) tweeted Tuesday. “If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pry it from my cold dead hands.”

“COME AND TAKE IT!!” Jackson added — a phrase that has since been plastered across pro-gas stove memes.

Thanks for your interest!

To be clear, CPSC isn't coming for anyone's gas stoves. Regulations apply to new products.

For Americans who CHOOSE to switch from gas to electric, there is support available - Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act which includes a $840 rebate. https://t.co/fcmWMSSfE5

This is a recipe for disaster. The federal government has no business telling American families how to cook their dinner. I can tell you the last thing that would ever leave my house is the gas stove that we cook on. https://t.co/8IEFM44UvE
