A federal agency will weigh plans to regulate and even ban natural gas stoves in the U.S., a top official said, over research showing a link between harmful air pollutants and the popular household appliances.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. said in an interview published Monday his agency plans to take action to address the pollutants, which have been linked to asthma and other respiratory issues.
“Any option is on the table,” he told Bloomberg, describing the pollutants as a “hidden hazard.”
“Products that can’t be made safe can be banned,” he said.
The agency has already issued a request for information seeking public data on hazards associated with the natural gas stoves and input for proposed solutions, a spokesperson for the agency told the Washington Examiner.
The request for information “is the first step in what could be a long journey toward regulating gas stoves,” Trumka, a Biden appointee and a former Democratic congressional staffer as well as the son of Richard Trumka, the late former top labor official, told reporters in December.
electricity=instant cut-off, natural gas=takes time to drain the pipes.
plus I think with a simple gas sized nozzle change , you can run propane in the same stove
The big difference between natural gas and propane is psi.
Natural gas is low pressure
Propane is high.
I have an old stove oven that all I did was add a regulator.
Now it’s propane.
That article below proves your point. Ever been in the gas business?
Hey, are you smiling?
.
I wasn’t in the gas business.
I had the honor of growing up around old timers who knew some stuff. The rest is from trial and error.
I’m smiling because I didn’t lose important body parts 🙂

A regulator that was willed from a dead propane grill .
Do what your unlawful ass has to do.
But remember, it hurts whole bunches to be beat about the head and neck with a two inch by two foot piece of firewood.
im fine with this so long as lawyers and politicians can be executed on spot.
All the gourmet cooks in my life ain’t gonna like this. Maybe it’ll wake them from their slumber.

Ive noticed there has been no option offered to replace gas. It cant be electric stoves because then people would have to choose between charging their p.o.s. Electric vehicles or eating a warm meal-and doing the dishes afterwards. They do this and theyd best pull every food prep appliance out of every federal building.
these climate fools need to go, its the next lie game in their bag of bullshit .. think of the huge gas burners in refineries, and electric generation plants that are now not burning coal but natural gas .. way bigger oven then momma has in her kitchen.. this is all a scam on we the people and its past time to crush the living Fck out of them all
next dumb shit they will say you need to get rid of yer gas furnace
Yep!
This ain’t gonna end well, but they’re pretty much having us suicide ourselves and nothing, nada, zilch, zero. Fellows locked in DC gulags and we tap on our keyboards….
I won’t be offing myself for any mofo.
What have those in “DC gulags” done besides follow a lie?
Trying to get past folks thick ignorant skulls with the truth of our Bill of Rights ain’t easy.
You guys got me curious so I searched, “What’s the difference between propane and natural gas.” Here’s what I found, surprisingly it states: “Both fuels are clean burning gases!” I cannot say if that is true:

Of course, this is from a company that sells gas. So…

If you’re like me,
most thangs can be modified.
It comes down to a matter of necessity, and affordability (as far as time, worthiness, and currency).
Never let someone tell you “it can’t be done”. Fk that

Where there’s a will…

@galen i’ve been in the HVAC field around 30yrs, prob 90% of stoves, laundry dryers etc.. are all dual fuel. Simple adjustment to the appliance regulator and swapping out orifice kits. Most are sent out from the factories set for nat gas operation. There are still alot of laundry dryers sold in my area for propane.
Thank you.
Your name… it goes back to Gondolin, First Age. Namárië.

Seems AOC got some rebuttal when she weighed in on gas stoves:
AOC: “Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance?”
