Biden will set new stove rules. No, he’s not coming for your gas burners.

The Energy Department is poised to finalize modest new efficiency standards for gas and electric stoves and ovens, potentially saving consumers in power bills.

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.

    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.
