This, unfortunately, is real.
According to a report from Just The News, the Biden Administration is looking to ban gas-burning stoves over concerns that they cause harmful indoor pollutants.
From Just The News:
The change is being proposed through the administration’s Consumer Product Safety Commission, according to Bloomberg News.
“This is a hidden hazard,” says agency Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Natural gas stoves are used in about 40% of U.S. homes.
Reports from such groups as the Institute for Policy Integrity and the American Chemical Society say the stoves emit air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter at levels the EPA and World Health Organization have found unsafe.
The emissions have also been linked to childhood asthma and other respiratory problems.
The federal agency plans to open public comment on the issue later this winter. Meanwhile, there is a bipartisan call in Congress for an alternative to having Americans buy an electric stove, which costs about $400.
Conservatives reacted to the news on Twitter, blasting Joe for the ridiculous policy initiative.
“The Biden Administration is once again going to extreme lengths to appease Green New Deal fanatics – they’re considering a national ban on gas stoves,” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said.

“Biden will ban gas stoves for normal people. Not for elites. This is Soviet America: Rules for thee, not for me,” tweeted DeSantis aide Christina Pushaw along with a picture of Jill Biden using a gas stove.
