The Biden administration has implemented several regulations aimed at restricting Americans' household appliances.
independence. There has been a war on life and religious freedom. There has been a war on our Constitution.That’s right. President Joe Biden and his army of federal bureaucrats have decided to restrict the public’s freedom to choose, own, and operate the appliances that best suit their families and homes. This unconstitutional allegiance to a global energy and environmental agenda would fundamentally change the interior of American homes and not for the better.
When I first heard about this rule, I thought it was a joke. Unfortunately, it was a very real back-door attempt to ban virtually all new gas stoves in the United States and thus exert government control over another aspect of people’s lives. According to the DOE’s own technical report, 96% of the market share of gas stoves would not have met the standards under the proposed rule.
To counter these schemes, I introduced two bills in the House of Representatives. One was the Save Our Gas Stoves Act, which prevents the secretary of the Energy Department from implementing energy conservation standards if the standards result in the unavailability of a product on account of the type of fuel the product uses. This legislation passed the House in 2023 but has not yet been taken up by the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Thankfully, our actions have forced the administration to take a slight detour from some of its oppressive regulatory proposals. Earlier this year, for example, the DOE released its final rule for energy efficiency standards for residential cooking products, issuing guidelines that would ban 3% of current models of gas stoves, down from the initial 96% ban. This was a hard-fought victory.
