"The humble gas stove is again being dragged into a political spat; it was in the middle of an intraparty squabble between the far-right Freedom Caucus / GOPISIS and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday.
Eleven conservative GOP members nuked McCarthy's bills to block a gas stove ban, sending his plans up in flames.
The Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act would have barred the Consumer Product Safety Commission from using federal funds to regulate gas stoves or issue safety guidance that would ban them or make them more expensive. Meanwhile, The Save Our Stoves Act would have blocked the U.S. Department of Energy from issuing standards for cooking products like stoves."
