Biden Administration Still Coming for Your Gas Appliances
The Biden administration denies targeting gas stoves, branding such claims as “misinformation.” However, The Daily Caller reported that the administration’s “building electrification” agenda, aimed at decarbonizing buildings, effectively discourages the use of gas stoves and other fossil fuel-based appliances. Critics argue this approach expands government control and makes it an indirect ban. The administration's policies include regulations promoting electric appliances and banning natural gas in new federal buildings by 2030.
These measures, though positioned as efficiency and safety standards, limit consumer choices and increase costs, disproportionately affecting average Americans amid inflation.
More from The Daily Caller:
The administration has also issued a bevy of regulations targeting household appliances, including furnaces, water heaters, dishwashers, portable gas-powered generators pool pump motors and more. In many cases, these standards are designed to push more energy efficient, and often electric or more expensive, appliances on consumers over time.
“The Biden administration doesn’t think its policies are being challenged or are unpopular, but the reality is pretty clearly the opposite,” Gabriella Hoffman, the director of the Center for Energy and Conservation at the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF), told the DCNF.
…IWF has kept track of the administration’s appliance rules and estimated that the total costs of upgrading a home to align with the administration’s regulations are in the thousands of dollars. These expenses may not be especially onerous for the well-to-do, but they figure to weigh heavily on average Americans already feeling inflation’s pinch, Hoffman told the DCNF.
