Gas stove battles heat up with new laws across the country [View all]

New fronts in the growing war over stoves are being opened at every level of government.

On one side, pro-fossil-fuel politicians are trying to ensure that the market for gas stoves stays alive and well.

Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Feb. 2 introduced the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act to prevent the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) from banning gas stoves.

In statements accompanying the bill’s introduction, the senators struck a brave pose in defense of liberty. “Make no mistake, radical environmentalists want to stop Americans from using natural gas,” Cruz said. “The federal government has no business telling American families how to cook their dinner,” Manchin said.
