Sometimes it’s the little things – the one indignity too many – that cause people to revolt. Banning new gas stoves, as a commissioner on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has suggested, could be the diktat that finally brings Americans to rebel against the government’s incessant, autocratic and ultimately insulting intrusion into our daily lives.
The European Union found that out the hard way. Just weeks before the British went to the polls to vote on whether they wanted to remain in the EU, reports leaked that the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels planned to ban electric teakettles that were a staple of British kitchens, because they used too much electricity.
For Americans that might not sound like a big deal, but for the average Brit, already incensed that some 80 percent of new regulations were flowing from Brussels and not Parliament, it was the last straw. The proposed limits on small appliances would have meant that the time required to boil water would have increased from an average two minutes and 30 seconds to five minutes. For a country consuming 62 billion cups of tea each year, that was an affront.
Polling shifted in favor of Brexit, and indeed Great Britain shocked the world in June 2016 by voting to leave the EU.

Resistive heating is the least efficient. This is purposeful destruction of the US and greater control over people and resources.
Kathy Hochul just proposed a ban in New York, what marxist socialist radical environmental manual do they all read from?
Oh good. Everything runs on electricity.
What could possibly go wrong?
EMP? Fuggetabboutit (I probably spelled that incorrectly).
Barbeques are next. Then, BIC lighters.
Yet here they want to ban gas stoves and go electric stoves...... plus heat pumps, etc..... 🤪
It was that idiot Corey Booker’s (D-NJ) idea. Biden is too stupid to even think of this crap.
Yep, they are doing the “No new gas hookups” all over the country. In 30 or 40 years, they will have effectively banned all natural gas.
But, no, they weren’t satisfied having to wait. They want tyranny and they want it now. RAM IT DOWN the deplorable’s throats.
When people see the government reach into their homes and change things it gets concrete for them. Most people do not think abstractly. The do not foresee second and third order consequences.
You spelled “E-M-P” just fine.
BUT STILL the vast majority of Americans just won’t say NO! to big government. Who said “you always get the government the majority votes for”? Until the vast majority becomes focused on saying NO!, the beatings will continue. Not pretty but pretty simple
Ain’t that the truth. What kind of person gets up every day to mimic the idiotic/evil talking points of some demonic puppet master only to believe they, themselves are the righteous ones?
Induction cooking is the most energy efficient type, but gas is the most versatile.

Every restaurant in the developed world uses gas stoves. Much more efficient and controllable heat. I used to be a cook in a restaurant and I cannot imagine all restaurants switching to electric stoves. It’s just not gonna happen. For one thing to switch over would cost fortunes, many fortunes and it would also increase the electric and heating bills of every restaurant in America. I guess they are trying to get rid of restaurants on top of everything else.
And a gas stove will keep you from freezing to death when a sleet-storm downs miles of transmission lines. Even if the stove has electronic burner ignition you can light it with an old-fashioned match.
NY gets what they vote for
In the Philly burbs, they have been spending numerous millions for years to upgrade gas mains.
Even white housewives thought this was too crazy.
The use of fire has been one of the defining characteristics of mankind for something like 200,000 years.
It’s only natural that the gay marriage proponents would now promote a ban on fire.
