For a time, President Joe Biden's Consumer Product Safety Commission tried to spread a bogus health scare as a pretext for banning gas stoves. Since then, his Department of Energy has floated a separate proposal (still in play) that would ban almost all models of gas stoves by prescribing such stringent performance standards that 96% of the gas stoves currently on the market would no longer be legal. This, of course, is a ban in all but name.
