Tyrannical Federal Agency (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) May Ban Gas Stoves in US. I Never Asked For Protection By These Tyrants. Shut Them Down!

Excerpt: "A federal agency may implement a nationwide ban on natural gas stoves over concerns that they cause health and respiratory problems. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will have public comment about gas stoves in the winter of 2023 and could set standards on emissions—even possibly banning them, CPSC head Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg News. Natural gas stoves are estimated to be used in roughly 40 percent of all U.S. homes. “This is a hidden hazard,” Trumka told the news service in an interview published on Jan. 9. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.” The CPSC already issued a request for information seeking data on the alleged hazards associated with gas stoves and input for solutions, but the CPSC hasn’t proposed any regulatory actions yet, a spokesperson told media outlets on Jan. 9. Representatives for the agency didn’t respond by press time to a request by The Epoch Times for comment. Such a request for data and input, Trumka told reporters last month, “is the first step in what could be a long journey toward regulating gas stoves.” Trumka, a Biden appointee, is a former congressional Democratic staffer and the son of Richard Trumka, the late former chief of one of the most powerful unions in the United States, the AFL-CIO. A ban on the manufacture and import of new gas stoves is a “real possibility,” he noted at the time. If there’s enough public pressure, the CPSC “could get a regulation on the books before this time next year,” he said." --------------------------------------------------------- These tyranys are Revolting. Why aren't we? DC can't be reformed. NIFO.

Oops, did I just give the traitorous morons something else to ban?
Aren't Trees Renewables?
So Wood Fires must be VERY VERY GREEN!
resulting from this threat? Possibly return to methane (sewer gas) that was bottled and used prior to natural gas infrastructure being installed?
It is natural.
Me dino once read that "The unexpected is the root of all humor." I'm over that now.
What's sad is that I can actually expect that prediction.
Pardon my being a bit graphic here -- these kinds of news stories related to govt overreach simply piss me off -- an emotional reaction, to be sure, but I feel better now ;)
If I have a plumbing problem, I don't call the feds, I call a plumber.
Regime Now Coming For Your Gas Stove. Yes, Really. They “Cause” Asthma'
Because they can. They can ban anything they like.
Because “climate crisis” and because, at least for now, “asthma”. Perhaps they will add “sudden deaths” to the list soon.
, the epidemiologist fallacy in its full glory. Number of kids “exposed to gas stoves was obtained from the American Housing Survey for the US, and states with available data (n = 9).”
Not one kid’s exposure to gas stoves was ever measured. Just some hand-wavy proxy for it.
No use to science: no use to you. The results will be very useful to the Regime, though.
Watts-Up-With-That to the rescue, again.
The new study the Consumer Product Safety Commission wants to rely on to ban gas stoves is classic junk science.
No actual research, ie studying children, was done. Authors did a literature search.
They only considered studies with positive (harmful) outcomes.
Asthma is an allergic disease. There are no allergens in natural gas. So the study has no biological plausibility.
.. .. ... etc.
