Opinion: Enviros try to gaslight public on gas stoves
“Now we’re cooking with gas” is an old phrase your grandparents might have used to mark progress. It came about as gas stoves replaced wood-burning stoves. Now there are rumbles the federal government is seeking to ban gas stoves, ostensibly in the name of progress.
Alexander Hoehn-Saric, chair of the commission, put out a statement saying, “Research indicates that emissions from gas stoves can be hazardous, and the CPSC is looking for ways to reduce related indoor air quality hazards. But to be clear, I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so.”It’s not like the effort to scrutinize gas stoves just started a week ago. For years, there’s been a growing push, especially here in California, to curtail the use of natural gas.
Naturally, if gas stoves are slowly killing us all, that would be a problem. But that’s not the state of things. Amid a recent wave of concern over the possible link between asthma and gas stoves, Brown University economist Emily Oster poured over the research in a commentary for Slate.
