If they can take your stove, what can't they take?
Fox News (8/15/24) reports: "After repeatedly denying that it wants to formally ban natural gas-powered stoves, the Energy Department posted to the Federal Register its finalized regulation targeting kitchen appliances. Critics from Congress to energy advocacy groups slammed the new rule, which administration officials have long denied would constitute a ban. But American Energy Alliance president Tom Pyle said it nonetheless wins the 'Triple Crown for bad regulations.' 'It’s ineffective, unnecessary, and likely illegal,' Pyle said, going on to acknowledge that the administration had watered down the original 2023-drafted policy. 'After receiving severe backlash for moving to ban gas stoves, the Biden-Harris administration settled for this rule, which they claim would lower costs for families. Of course, what they don’t tell you is their so-called savings is a mere 21 cents a year.' Pyle said that if Democrats continue to hold power, the rule will be a 'mere down payment' on future regulatory overreach that will try to control other mundane aspects of daily life like cooking. 'American consumers [are] fully capable of choosing the appliances that best suit their needs,' he said."
