Kelly Armstrong, R-N.D., who sponsored the bill, said in a statement. \u201cConsumer protection should be about safety, not used as a veiled push to eliminate fossil fuels and the millions of jobs they support. Americans should decide if gas stoves are right for their families, not the Federal Government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue was thrust into the forefront with much controversy after news broke that the federal government was considering such a ban. Environmental activists have pointed to the impact of methane from the stove as well as potential research suggesting gas stoves could cause conditions like asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A federal ban could affect more than half the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne hundred percent of the currently available free-standing gas stoves and 96 percent of gas cooktops will not meet the new standards proposed by the Biden Administration\u2019s Department of Energy,\u201d Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., said in May after the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed the bill out of committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/national\/article_49d6af60-0bbb-11ee-a7b9-1707f4e1cd37.html\">https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/national\/article_49d6af60-0bbb-11ee-a7b9-1707f4e1cd37.html<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecentersquare.com%2Fnational%2Farticle_49d6af60-0bbb-11ee-a7b9-1707f4e1cd37.html%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_campaign%3Duser-share\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(The Center Square) \u2013 The U.S. House passed legislation this week to prevent a federal ban on gas stoves.
