The American Gas Association pushed back against a potential gas ban calling the removal of the appliance 'reckless' and 'not substantiated by sound science.'
"Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned," agency commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg.
The report said the federal agency plans "to take action" to address the indoor pollution caused by stoves. The AGA has previously pushed back against Trumka's comments, saying that the emissions from cooking with gas are similar to emissions created when cooking with electric stoves and that they plan on submitting evidence to prove it.
"Any discussion or perpetuation of the allegations in this report which is funded by non-governmental organizations to advance their agenda to remove consumer energy choice and the option of natural gas is reckless." the AGA added. On Tuesday, the agency slammed Trumka's comments, calling the finding "baseless allegations" and pointing how gas reduced carbon emissions from the power sector by pushing out more-polluting coal.
"Any efforts to ban highly efficient natural gas stoves should raise alarm bells for the 187 million Americans who depend on this essential fuel every day," the AGA said.
