West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin is renewing his criticism of the Biden administration's ongoing attacks on the natural gas industry, this time zeroing in on his Department of Energy's (DOE) attempts to take out gas-powered stoves.
In January, Commissioner Richard Trumka of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) implied a ban of gas stoves could be on the table, calling them a "hidden hazard" for people's health. Since then, the DOE has announced moving forward with a ban on incandescent light bulbs and is finalizing an "energy-efficiency" proposal for household gas furnaces.
Speaking exclusively to Fox News Digital, Manchin said the growing hostility towards conventional energy appliances shows how "disconnected" DOE is from "facts and reality[s]" of our power grid, which he says is known to be "strained to say the least."
Last month, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned that the majority of the U.S. grid is susceptible to energy shortages due to the speedy transition towards renewable energy.
"If you want a clean environment, then you have to do it through technology and innovation," Sen. Manchin continued. America "cannot eliminate [its] way" to it.
Manchin has been a consistent opponent of his fellow Democrats' "radical climate agenda." He's recently refused to support any of the President's EPA nominees until he stops the "government overreach," and said he'll vote with Republicans to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act over the administration's seemingly forced green transition.
Which he voted for. "I was for it before I was against it" or something.

Use your brain.
Manchin will always do what makes his wealth grow.

Manchin, you are in the commie party. Time to swap to the socialist party (Repukes).

Alex, I’ll take “Things not to say if you care about your loved-ones”
Has the White House kitchen removed their evil gas stoves yet?
Democrats stiff Joe Manchin of the goodies they promised him for voting for their ‘Inflation Reduction Act’
I’ll give the man credit when he actually π₯π°π¦π΄ something.
Even if you had a metanoia, which I doubt, it is too late. Bye, bye Joey.
When will the people of WV learn that Manchin is a snake, and everything he does is a calculation of how it will play out when he runs for re-election?
Manchin is up to his old tricks. Talk conservative, vote liberal an then claim he was hoodwinked on the vote.
Promises pushback... until he is properly paid off.
You have to have special wiring to install an electric stove-you don’t just plug it into an outlet like a lamp. Which means 1000s of $$ for rewiring.
