Republican lawmakers argue that a proposal to limit gas stove emissions goes too far, but others say new standards are needed. MORE ⬇️
Proposed standards for gas stovetops have cooked up a storm on Capitol Hill Wednesday after the Department of Energy released its plans earlier this year.
"Eliminating, at minimum, half of the gas stoves available to consumers prevents customers who want a gas stove from obtaining one," said Matthew Agen, chief regulatory counsel at the American Gas Association."Not only is the proposed rule ill-conceived, analytically unsupportable, and anti-consumer, the proposed rule suffers from a series of procedural and legal errors that render it unlawful.
Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, chair of the House Oversight Committee, claimed the new rules are an"assault" on Americans' gas stoves, calling the standards a"de facto ban."Rep. Cori Bush, ranking member of the committee, pushed back on Fallon's claims.
