So you thought that having a gas stove makes you safe from that electric-rate shock?
Wrong!!
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) may decide to outlaw natural gas stoves after a new study claimed the appliances can emit harmful pollution, according to Bloomberg.
Gas-burning stoves, which are present in 35% of national households, account for about 12.7% of childhood asthma cases in the U.S., presenting a similar asthma risk that is caused by exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke, according to a December 2022 study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health....
Oh, no doubt whatsoever about that "study." Nope. It's just as scientific as the studies on The Vaxx. Maybe more so. /sarc
As if that "study" weren't enough....
...Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and 20 other Democratic lawmakers urged the CPSC to crack down on gas stoves’ emissions, stating that the pollution disproportionately affects minority and low-income households....
The damn things are RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACISSSSS, too!!

Use of gas stoves results in a 64% reduction in childhood asthma.
Math is hard.
