The topic of gas stoves ignited a heated debate last year when a Biden appointee suggested they could be banned because they posed a risk to human health.

But a ban isn’t in the works — and this week the administration will finalize a scaled-back plan to make new stoves less energy-intensive.

      Cooking every day doesn’t mean “running all burners on the stove 10 hours per day”

      There’s a difference between using a stove all day, every day, and cooking meals for one family on it.

        Doesn’t that beg the question…why aren’t l we forcing this upon restaurants and fast food where it will make the greatest impact?

          You’re conflating two things:

          1. Most stoves are installed at home, and designed for ordinary at-home use
          2. A standard for the efficiency of new stoves manufactured 2028 and later

          That’s just sealioning.
