Gas stove regulations spark political controversy.

House Republicans are opposing the Biden administration's efforts to regulate gas stoves, portraying proposed efficiency standards from the Energy Department as federal overreach. The Energy and Commerce Committee will mark up legislation aimed at stopping DOE from enforcing its new proposed energy efficiency standards, as well as a bill aimed at blocking the consumer commission from using federal funds to ban gas stoves. The proposed rule would leave basic stove models that make up about half of the market untouched and propose "modest" changes to commercial-grade models to meet the proposed standard.
