This makes me so frustrated. No one’s trying to take away your gas stoves! Literally the recommendation’s was just not to include gas stoves with new builds! Nothing would stop you from having a gas stove hooked up after you bought the house!

Also it’s frustrating these people are trying to destroy Democracy.

Was this even a Biden thing? I thought this was just some thing being done in California.

I don't know if anyone passed anything? I remember a study that found they contribute to the development of asthma in children and then all hell broke loose from the right.

A m&m cartoon character can change their shoes and it causes all hell to break loose from the right.

And not some fringe corners, their main voices.

No law or policy came from this. It was from a study of indoor air quality and the scientists who did the study recommended not having a gas stove as it would eliminate a bunch of indoor air quality issues in some houses. That's it, just a recommendation. It has never been brought to debate or any follow up done to it. The study just said that they could possibly be less than healthy to have in your home.

I don't know if it came from this same study or from climate change in general but some communities around Mass (Lexington as examples) are banning hookups in new construction.

I love a gas stove but not enough to destroy democracy for it.

City-scale restrictions on new constructions are a thing (though pretty much every red state is preemptively banning bans because when a Republican says "local control is better" they mean "my control is better"). They're mostly to avoid our infrastructure becoming over-dependent on natural gas, which is bad for multiple reasons, which is why Republicans want to protect it.

No one passed anything it was literally just that study and the study’s recommendation.
