Richard Trumka, Commissioner U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), said that his agency is looking into perhaps slapping on new regulations on the sale and use of gas-powered cooktops, claiming that they can cause health effects in young children such as asthma. The Commission will begin seeking out information from the public in March, which could then result in regulations not long thereafter.
Richard Meyer, vice president of energy markets, analysis and standards for The American Gas Association said in a written statement:
AGA is eager to submit for the record objective technical information related to the safety of gas cooking appliances and ways to reduce cooking process emissions — which are produced both by cooking with electricity and cooking with gas — from impacting indoor air quality.
However AGA published an article on December 7th titled “How Natural Gas Bans Hurt Communities and Customers,” where the group explained that such outright bans “can make housing more expensive,” especially with “electric homes [that] require expensive retrofits, potentially driving up the overall cost of housing significantly.” Year-over-year energy and heating costs would rise by the thousands, they claim.

Trumka and the CPSC claim to be citing a slew of different studies that claim that gas-powered stoves are harmful to one’s health, especially children, such as increasing the likelihood of triggering asthma attacks, coupled with inhaling too much nitrogen dioxide for extended period of times; along with other pollutants such as carcinogen benzene in the air.
Trumka emphasized that the built-in ventilation is not doing much unless the emissions are being piped outside, otherwise the stove ventilation system “really doesn’t do anything except make an obnoxious sound when you turn it on,” he says.
U.S. PIRG environment campaigns director Matt Casale, said that new regulations would be “a big step” forward, as media and universities are steadily raising awareness on this issue.
It’s enlisting the help of the public, including researchers and scientists and advocates, and people who have been looking at this for a long time.
He added
The Chicago Tribune wrote: ‘Regulations often start as voluntary standards, which can be adopted by standard-making groups and followed by manufacturers, Casale said. That might mean voluntary standards for emissions or range hood performance.’
The WinePress has reported that bans on gas heaters and stovetops are already happening in the U.S., with California banning natural gas heaters and furnaces by 2030, and New York City banning the installation of new gas hookups in all new buildings. Meanwhile other nations like Australia are banning new gas hookups, as Austria is primed to ban them in 2023.
These bans on natural gas and nonelectric appliances are key climate emission goals for 2030 and 2050:
[By 2030] Electric heat pumps replace gas boilers, and building retrofits (air tightness, insulation and external shading) expand rapidly. [By 2050] Program[s] to provide all interior heat with heat pumps and energy retrofits for all buildings.Gas cookers phased out rapidly in favor of electric hobs and ovens. Fridges, freezers and washing machines become smaller [by 2030]. [Thereafter], Electrification of all appliances and reduction in size to cut power requirement.
Wind and solar supplies grow as rapidly as possible, with associated storage and distribution. Rapid expansion in electrification of end-uses [by 2030]. [Afterwards a]Four-fold increase in renewable generation from 2020, all non-electrical motors and heaters phased out.
Rapid reduction in supply and use of all fossil fuels, except for oil for plastic production [by 2030]. Fossil fuels completed phased out [by 2050].

A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

Oh, so these so-called health risks are only important to talk about now? This wouldn’t have anything to do with trying to oppress people and prime them for carbon-based social credit scores, now would it?

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It’s all about control, to plug every one into the grid.
Exactly. There are also electric stoves and induction stoves. Soon there will be more things like smart toasters (they actually have those now on amazon and other stores). People are going to be hooked on the gird and when an EMP disaster happens, people will be struggling to survive.
