U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission chairman Alexander D. Hoehn-Saric issued a statement Wednesday assuring the public that his agency has no intention of banning gas stoves after a commission official drew the ire of the cooking public by suggesting the appliances might be banned in the near future due to the alleged health threat they pose to Americans.
“Over the past several days, there has been a lot of attention paid to gas stove emissions and to the Consumer Product Safety Commission,” Hoehn-Saric wrote in an official statement released Wednesday. “To be clear, I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so."

Gas stoves are only a threat if you are an insane carbon fearing moron and a member in good standing in the cult of man-made global climate change. Everything on earth is carbon-based. It is not a "pollutant" and there is nothing to be afraid of—all part of God's perfect creation. If we didn't have carbon we wouldn't have life on earth. Be thankful.

If Hoehn-Saric has no plans to ban Gas Stoves, WHO exactly has decreed that there shall be NO Gas heat or Gas Stoves in all new Buildings in New York?

This happened years ago, but in my home town there was an electrical outage on Christmas day that lasted about 6 hours. It was COLD. We built a fire in the fireplace but the stove was electric. My grandmother who lived next door had a gas stove, so we were able to heat water for coffee and cook a hot breakfast. It helped.
And one of Brandon's minions want to ban gas stoves? Idiots - all of the are idiots.

For the sake of the planet - - we must ban cooking!
Cooking food is a neanderthal custom - - which no enlightened, modern humans should adapt. Humans should be more like horses and cattle and sheep - - and graze for our nourishment. If it's good enough for geese and camels - - it should be more than good enough for us.

The goal of our government is control. They want to be able to flip a switch and cut off your electric car and your electricity in your home, via the new smart meters.
I refused the smart meter and I will drive my gas car until the wheels fall off, or they shut down all fuel options.

FTA:Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned, Trumka Jr. insisted.
Just about any product could be banned under this mindset. Automobiles, swimming pools, ladders, steak knives, snow blowers, mountain climbing equipment etc... are all ''unsafe''.

Good grief. Kill off coal generation of electricity and replace it with gas. But then kill off gas. I'm going to end up cooking my food in the back yard over a wood fire. And heating my house likewise.

Yeah, and Biden said he wasn't going to make the Clot Shots mandatory, either.
This is guy is lying. They will try to ban gas stoves.
Not because of any danger to anyone, but because they hate oil and gas. Again, not because of any danger to the Earth or anything. But because oil and gas money goes largely to rural areas, creates many wealthy people who are not in control of Democrats and the Elites.
It also facilitates mobility and independence, which interferes with their power.

This is not about "safety" in any way. It is about lie-berals wanting more and more control over the masses of peasants that they see being so far below them!!!
As always, if a conservative was afraid of gas stoves, he would get rid of his and go by an electric one.
But if a lie-beral is afraid of gas stoves, they must be banned for all people!!!!
My gas stove has now joined the ever-growing list of things that lie-berals are going to have to pry out of my cold dead hands if they want to take them!!!!!

They had plans to ban gas stoves and would have done so if no one had spoken up, but people jumped all over the idea and now they say they aren't going to do it. The plan has been tabled for now, but they'll try again at some later date.

After the unfavorable publicity our leftist rulers have taken on this proposal, they probably intend to accomplish the same ban through a rule by a different office, perhaps the EPA. The push back on this will just make them more determined to hurt us all. That ban will probably also apply to propane powered gas grills, camp stoves and also to wood pellet and charcoal grills.

If the Republicans were smart (hahahaha) they would go on record that NO bill should be passed eliminating or forbidding fossil fuel based devices (cars, stoves, mowers, etc.) until and unless the energy grid present and future projected capacity is sufficient to provide the necessary energy for the replacement devices. How the heck can any governmental body justify mandating these insane changes without having such assurance??? It's economic suicide (actually it's murder by Democrats).

The most ASSININE proclamation to ever come from the mouth of a human. Of course it was Prince Lie-a-watha, Elizabeth Warren, who signed off on this "grave concern" on the respiratory health of poor children? Is this what our government has come to? The ultimate Nanny State sweating every detail of the underclass' lives while completely ignoring the pandemic of gang violence and drugs KILLING those children, which by the way, permanently robs them of their ability to ever breathe!
I don't know how it would be written, but we need a Constitutional Amendment to PROHIBIT Congress from making laws that will injure our economy or violate free-market competition of energy, finance, and technology in this country.

If CO2 emissions were really the dire threat the lie-berals claim they are, then the solution is genocidal population control...which would be just a bit less popular than banning gas stoves...so they're starting 'small'.
The trouble with their argument is two-fold:
1. until the climate models can history-match past climate changes (little ice age, medieval warming period, etc), they are worthless for predicting future climate changes.
2. correlation does not equal causation...until atmospheric CO2 can be proven to affect global temperature (and so far, no one has done so), there is no reason to regulate CO2 output.

Walking back the statement does not mean the CSC has given up on the idea. It means they'll have to be more sneaky about implementing the ban in the future. Somehow they'll manage to get it attached to a future appropriations bill. Once someone in govt gets a lousy idea in their head it never goes away. They want to ban air conditioning in your car and home, limit our home heating capacity and don't be surprised if they try and ban hot water heaters. These enviro psycho's will stop at nothing to make our lives as miserable as possible.
In the meantime, stop voting for Democrats and hold your GOP reps feet to the fire. Politicians are like little children - they need to be babysat!!

I think we can all agree that anything about a ''gas stove'' is a shiny object in the far off distance.
