GOP bill to block Biden’s anti-gas stove regulations advanced by House panel

Panel members voted 20-10 to refer the “Save Our Gas Stoves Act,” authored by Arizona Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko, to the full committee for consideration, with three Democrats in support.

Rep. Kathy Castor, the Florida Democrat who chaired the now-defunct House Climate Crisis Committee, called the Republican bill fear-mongering and a “waste of time.” “I agree that the federal government should not be banning gas stoves,” Mrs. Fletcher said. “Like many Texans, my gas stove got me through the freeze a couple of years ago when we were out of power for several days.”

Democrats emphasize the proposed regulations are not bans but rather efficiency standard upgrades, which they note are periodically required by Congress. The energy secretary by law must make “maximum improvement[s] in energy efficiency … which the secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified.”
