A Republican bill passed the House this week with bipartisan support to prevent the Biden administration from banning gas stoves.
The bill, the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act, would bar the Consumer Product Safety Commission from banning gas stoves, but the legislation is unlikely to receive a vote in the Democratic-led Senate. Republicans are cheering the House vote as a win against President Joe Biden’s anti-fossil fuel agenda. The bill passed by a 248-180 vote, with 29 Democrats joining the GOP.
“We know the motivation of the CPSC and throughout this entire administration is a green climate push,” Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R., N.D.), who sponsored the legislation, said. “The goal is to dictate how you live every aspect of your life—how you save and invest for the future by pushing ESG, how you drive by banning gas-powered cars, and now the goal is to control how you cook.
