Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was in the hot seat Thursday when she vowed to lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee that the Biden administration does not seek to ban natural gas stoves.
“I will say that the Department of Energy is not banning any gas stoves, that we are doing our duty to make sure that appliances are more energy efficient as we are required to do under the Energy Policy Conservation Act of 1975,” Ms. Granholm testified to the congressional panel. “Nobody’s taking my gas stove, nobody will take your gas stove. But in the future, gas stoves that are high-end, which is all that we looked at, can be more efficient.
The Energy Department, meanwhile, is proposing new efficiency rules for gas stoves that only about half of current models on the market would likely comply with. “I think it’s unfortunate that we have to introduce a bill to reverse an unnecessary anti-consumer choice rule by the Department of Energy,” said Arizona Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko, who has legislation to block new regulations against gas stoves.
