1. Some here were not thrilled with losing gas stoves.

I know restaurants won’t be.

2. Could you point me to any laws requiring the removal of gas stoves?

6. No one is coming for your gas stove.

"To be clear, CPSC isn't coming for anyone's gas stoves," Trumka tweeted late Monday. "Regulations apply to new products. For Americans who CHOOSE to switch from gas to electric, there is support available."

On Tuesday, the CPSC released the following statement to USA TODAY:

"CPSC has not proposed any regulatory action on gas stoves at this time. Any regulatory action by the Commission would involve a lengthy process. Agency staff plans to start gathering data and perspectives from the public on potential hazards associated with gas stoves, and proposed solutions to those hazards later this year. Commission staff also continues to work with voluntary standards organizations to examine gas stove emissions and address potential hazards."

11. No, the federal government isn't coming for your gas stove. But new legislation and research could

point the way to an electric future (a months newer article than yours)

Blue teardrop-shaped flames heating the underside of a skillet is one of the kitchen’s most hypnotizing sights. So, when a rumored gas stove ban began swirling earlier this year, fueled by comments from Richard L. Trumka Jr. of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the public was instantly whipped into a frenzy over the potential loss of their comforting cooking rituals. But could such a mandate be implemented?

The short answer is no. Despite the hysteria stirred up by pundits and politicians who swore that government bureaucrats would pry your gas stove from the wall, the roughly 40% of Americans who own gas stoves have nothing to fear. In fact, a provision in the Inflation Reduction Act specifies that the government will pay you in the form of an $840 rebate should you decide to voluntarily switch from gas to electric.

That’s not to say that certain states and municipalities aren’t planning for a future with far fewer gas stoves. As part of its budgeting process, New York’s state legislature passed a measure this week which aims “to phase out the use of fossil fuels in new buildings.” The legislation would forbid the installation of any gas-powered stoves, furnaces, or propane heating in any new building under seven stories tall by 2026, with similar requirements for taller buildings kicking in by 2029.

Certain larger commercial buildings (including hospitals, laundromats, and restaurants) would be exempt from these rules, and, importantly, no buildings standing today would suddenly need to swap their stoves. However, the hope is that banning gas stoves, furnaces, and the like from new construction will eventually make a sizable dent in the 32% of New York’s total emissions generated by buildings. Similarly, Maryland, Colorado, and more than 80 municipalities from coast to coast have either approved or are in the process of considering similar measures.

5. US Gas Command is to be directly responsible

for the acquisition and distribution of Beano during wartime. That's what some people are saying.
