29 Dems Join GOP in House Vote to Block
Biden Admin From Limiting Access to Gas Stoves

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 3/30/2023 2:35:14 PM

U.S. House lawmakers voted in support of an energy bill amendment that would prevent the Department of Energy from introducing energy efficiency standards that could outlaw most gas stoves on the market today. More than a dozen Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, part of a Republican-led pro-fossil-fuel legislative package H.R. 1, also referred to as the Lower Energy Costs Act, which the Biden administration has vowed to veto.

29 Democrats obviously wanted desperately to remain in office. The others are in districts where there is no risk of a Democrat ever losing an election.

It's funny how other media outlets report this. It's framed as undermining climate change efforts and a boon for the environmentally damaging fossil fuel industry. In reality it's a huge win for anyone who wants access to affordable energy resources.

When 29 Democrats go against their instructions and fail to vote the way they were told you have to know that bill really sucked.

I've got a new and happy gas stove in my kitchen and an older but workable garage backup. If you shut off the gas you'd better shut off the propane with it. Not a snowball's chance in hell am I cooking on electric. I'll build a wood fire first.

Think about it. joey & co want to ban gas stoves...............everyday, ordinary, reliable,safe, cheap to use gas stoves. They'll come after gas water heaters and dryers too , which are not in the kitchen where they say that people are exposed to the so called harmful effects of a gas stove. They say that they're a danger to life earth. Anyone capable of critical thinking knows that that's a flat out lie. The members of the church of climatechange/globalwarming believe that they're on some sort of holy mission to save the planet which doesn't need saving. Anyone that opposes them is a " denier " .........the left is very good at labeling ( denigrating ) their opposition. Don't ever fall for it. You know the truth, never be afraid to speak it. It's the on thing that the left is afraid of.

Banning gas stoves would absolutely destroy the restaurant industry. Go and try to find a restaurant that cooks on electric stoves. They don’t exist. I guess those 29 House demonrats don’t want to be denied their favorite elite DC restaurants.

One of the biggest control weapons they will have if this passes is that they can shut the electricity off at any time to punish their enemies. Can't do that with natural gas.

While running his minimalist presidential campaign in 2020, Joe Biden’s handlers sold him as the wise, responsible, inside-the-Beltway moderate the country desperately needed after his allegedly renegade predecessor.

President Trump’s departure from the White House brought back the Dark Ages of the deep state’s ownership of the federal government. The new regime seeks to punish his supporters as well as destroy him. The destruction of East Palestine, Ohio, epitomized the cruel nature of the vengeance of our government on those who dared want to make America great again. The village is poor and white (98%) and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The EPA used a train wreck as an opportunity to inflict pain. The administration never acknowledged the heartbreak.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed legislation into law on Friday that added firing squads as an alternative method of execution for the state’s death-row inmates. The bill—dubbed House Bill 186—stipulates that the form of capital punishment will only be used if the state is unable to obtain the drugs needed to perform lethal injections. “I have not given up on the state’s ability to require the chemicals,” Little wrote in a transmittal letter (pdf) after signing the bill. “And, I believe the bill I signed into law last year helped expand options that would not have been available without it.”
