Used the griddle to make bacon, eggs, and pancakes this morning.

Had to cancel a trip to Texas to afford the eggs, but what the heck.

I appreciate a fellow man who loves to cook breakfast. Bacon is a must. After that, anything goes well. But my favorite combo with the swine is biscuits, french toast or omelet, and corned beef hash well-browned. Doing it on a gas stove gives me great pleasure.

After breakfast I burn a tire to protest the climate freaks.

Bacon with corned beef hash? Interesting combination if true.

Not counting the grill, breakfast is all I cook.

The Campaign to Ban Gas Stoves​

Biden and the media deny it exists, but the effort is calculated and well-funded.​

WSJ

Don’t believe for a second Consumer Product Safety Commission member Richard Trumka Jr.’s slippery claim that they aren’t coming for your stove. Or the media narrative that Republicans are “hyping” a new “culture war” by “pretending” the Biden administration intends to ban gas stoves.

The reason gas stoves are in the news is simple: There is a coordinated, calculated—and well-funded—strategy to kill them off. It’s the joint enterprise of extremely powerful climate groups, working with Biden administration officials who have publicly stated their aim to eliminate all “combustion appliances” in homes. Only after the GOP called them out did anyone pretend otherwise.

Some of this is being exposed in letters sent this week by Senate Commerce Committee ranking member Ted Cruz to CPSC commissioners demanding more information. The letters highlight the primary groups behind this push. One is the Climate Imperative Foundation, which became an overnight green powerhouse and reported more receipts in 2021 than the League of Conservation Voters or the Sierra Club. A board member and funder is Kleiner Perkins billionaire John Doerr, whose climate action plan calls for getting rid of gas cooking. CIF’s executive director, Bruce Nilles, has made the end of gas stoves an imperative, writingin 2019: “Your gas stove has to go.” CIF has granted money to the Rocky Mountain Institute, which has long advocated “retrofitting” existing homes to be “all electric.”

Then there’s Rewiring America, “the leading electrification nonprofit, focused on electrifying our homes, businesses and communities.” And New York University’s Institute for Policy Integrity, which last year called on the CPSC to enact a gas-stove ban.

The stated goal of all these group is killing gas to “save” the planet. Yet they also know Americans won’t give up their stoves in the name of climate. So several years ago this cabal hit on the idea of contradicting decades of science and ginning up hokey studies claiming gas stoves present a “health risk.” The twin goals: scare Americans and give government a pretext to ban gas cooking.

This is how you end up with climate outfits masquerading as health experts. One frequently cited study from the Rocky Mountain Institute—claiming to find a link between gas stoves and childhood asthma—was co-authored by two RMI staffers, neither of whom has a science degree. Another favorite study by New York University’s Institute for Policy Integrity claims gas stoves cause “dangerous levels of indoor air pollution.” It was written by two lawyers, and it cites . . . the RMI study. Ah, science.

Then there’s the paid research. The November edition of the “independent” magazine Consumer Reports was devoted to the “Hidden Health Hazards in Your Home” and explained that its research found an “alarming concern” with levels of nitrogen dioxide from gas stoves. (It also featured a four-page tribute to induction cooktops, the left’s expensive alternative to gas.) Tucked at the end of the article online was an editor’s note: “This project was funded in part with a grant from the Climate Imperative Foundation.” CIF’s 2021 tax filings show a $375,000 donation to Consumer Reports specifically for research on gas stoves.

The Biden administration is close to these groups and has wholly appropriated their “health” line. It’s been open about using those claims to get rid of gas stoves—following state and local bans. The White House last month held an “electrification summit,” which featured a panel on getting gas out of homes. Nearly every guest (including a representative from Rewiring America) stated the “health” harm of gas stoves as accepted fact, and Trisha Miller of the White House’s Climate Policy Office described the need to “eliminate emissions” by getting rid of all “combustion appliances” in houses (including your washer, dryer and furnace). The electrification agenda is being carried out through the Department of Energy’s Better Climate Challenge, which lists Rewiring America and RMI as “allies.”

This ground laying and coordination is the backdrop for the Trumka explosion. Around the time of the Consumer Reports story—and in the runup to the Electrification Summit—Mr. Trumka circulated a memo titled “NPR Proposing Ban on Gas Stoves (Indoor Air Quality).” (NPR is an acronym for notice of proposed rulemaking.) The Cruz letter says the memo cites the Consumer Reports and NYU studies among reasons Mr. Trumka concludes there is “sufficient information” now to forbid Americans from purchasing new gas stoves. While the Trumka proposal failed, the CPSC initiated a “request for information”—a first step toward a ban.

Only after Bloomberg exposed some of this did the ensuing public furor cause the CPSC and White House to run for cover. But make no mistake: A ban is the plan. Arati Prabhakar, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said at the summit that “if we are going to get to net zero emissions by 2050,” we’ll need electric “cars and buses and home heating and cooking.” The left won’t stop until it has dictated what you drive, where you live, and how you cook.

And there you have it. These rotten leftists will NEVER leave us alone.

I'm curious how gas fireplaces get a pass. It's the exact same gas feed that fuels the stove, so why aren't they wanting to ban fireplaces? Oh wait... perhaps there's a Leftist think tank study that shows asthma is only an outcome of kids sniffing around stoves and not fireplaces.

Science!!!

Unvented gas fireplaces/heaters are out there. Not too many people use them because of the fumes and condensation.

I have an enclosed and vented gas fireplace in our LR. Works great. It's a large room (16x28) with a vaulted ceiling and the house's gas furnace keeps it about 5 degrees colder than the rest of the house, so the fireplace is necessary and helpful.

But once they ban my fireplace, I will burn tires to keep warm, so it's all good.
 
In the realm of finance and investing you are advised to maintain diversification in your portfolio, for obvious risk reasons. Yet, with these radical leftists, they want everything to be electric (which is mythical in and of itself). When that happens, and they decide to flip the switch for control purposes, The People are forever screwed.

Never succumb to the propaganda and fear tactics of these socialists/Marxists/communists. There is always more to it with these America haters.

Don't those use an egg, too? Plus, maple syrup? A waffle has to be more expensive than 70 cents. Do you have to cancel another trip?

You can buy 3 baby chickens for 5 bucks and sell your extra for his next trip. 😉
 
And if you thought this edict was just going to go away, think again. Now they want to do the end run and just make it so the stoves won't be able to comply with evermore stringent regulations. God these radicals make me sick.

Biden admin's regulations would ban 96% of gas stoves, Republican senator warns

GOP Sen. Steve Daines warned in a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm that her agency's regulations would ban up to 96% of the gas stoves currently available.

As radical left-wing states continue to FORCE their agenda on The People, here is another way to get to the same result: ban gas pipes in your homes and buildings, so that you cannot use your gas stove. They literally cannot leave you alone to live your life the way you see fit.

Thankfully, a judge with half a brain stepped in.

Federal court reverses Calif. city's ban on new gas pipes

The Ninth Circuit Court in California has overturned a Berkeley, Calif., ordinance that banned pipes that deliver natural gas to stoves and other appliances in new construction, effectively phasing out the use of gas stoves in restaurants. The ruling, in a case filed by the California Restaurant Association, said that the law violated federal regulations.

Obviously the biden regime will continue to do everything they can to proceed with banning gas stoves, the same way they are banning gas cars.

Going after your dishwashers now ......................... and still going after your gas stove, despite the lies they tell directly to your face.





A proposed Department of Energy regulation would cost appliance manufacturers billions of additional dollars annually and could drive up prices for consumers, according to E&E News’ ENERGYWIRE (subscription).

What’s going on: The draft rule on dishwashers, part of “a suite of efficiency measures [the Biden administration] advanced last week,” aims to cut carbon emissions and save water.
“DOE said the dishwasher proposal would save consumers $2.8 billion in utility costs over three decades.”
The department is obligated to update appliance-efficiency standards periodically, though the rules address water and energy use, not greenhouse gas emissions.
Why it’s important: The DOE said the rule “would force companies to pay $8.6 million more annually in increased product costs, potentially leading to higher sales prices,” according to the article.
The agency “is also pushing forward with controversial proposals on distribution transformers and gas stoves, each of which could be finalized later this year.”
The NAM says: “The NAM stands ready to work with regulators including the DOE to make efficiency standards feasible,” said NAM Director of Energy and Resources Policy Chris Morris.
“Manufacturers in the U.S. are leading the way in energy efficiency and clean energy technologies. Unfortunately, the DOE’s recent action will have numerous adverse impacts including higher costs to consumers. Manufacturers look forward to further engagement with federal agencies to ensure regulations are workable.”[/TD]
 
Biden administration planning bold energy policy moves

The Biden administration's recently released semiannual Unified Agenda reveals an ambitious energy policy program for the remainder of 2023 and early 2024 that includes regulations on gas stoves, energy efficiency, methane emissions, electricity transmission and protections for the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska




They stare you in the face and lie.

Well until they lead the charge and put their money where their mouth is I'm going to be sitting this one out. If it's not enough to make people upset about current conditions, make them sit in the heat with no hope of relief and see how bad the people react.
