Totally not Orwellian: red line in the sand time

Totally not Orwellian at all.
Red line in the sand time.
The Biden Administration are full blown totalitarian a-holes.
Comply, eat the damn bugs, and die already, you useless eaters.
======================
“Who knew President Joe Biden hated gas stoves so much?
Not only does he have multiple federal agencies targeting them, but he is also going after the natural gas supplies on which they depend.
Like so much of the craziness coming from Washington these days, the war on the blue flame is being done for the sake of fighting climate change.
Here is a rundown of how your tax dollars are at work to restrict your freedom of choice in the kitchen:
CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. created quite a stir last month when he stated that a federal ban on new natural gas stoves was “a real possibility.”
The public backlash was so strong – it turns out American don’t like the idea of the feds forcing them to choose electric over gas cooking – that the Biden Administration issued denials that any such crackdown was in the works.
However, CPSC just announced that it is soliciting information on the safety of gas stoves, the first step towards restrictions.
The ostensible reason for this initiative is a few recent reports claiming that gas stoves create harmful indoor air quality, but in reality these junky studies are closely tied to climate change-focused organizations like the Rocky Mountain Institute.
In any event, they are contradicted by the weight of evidence as well as decades of experience that gas stoves are safe.
DOE recently proposed its first-ever energy efficiency standards for residential stoves.l
Though such regulations are supposed to be fuel neutral, the agency’s proposal stands out for hitting gas stoves much harder than electric versions, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, which represents makers of both types of stoves.
Not only would the rule likely boost the cost of gas stoves more than electrics, but it would jeopardize some of their features.
It may even result in the max setting on gas burners having to be reduced in order to comply. …”
