Two days ago, which is forever in internet time, we covered the attempt to ban gas stoves for cooking and connected funding for the study to a gas-banning green group. The story has quickly evolved and been exposed even further, and I’d like to get you up to speed.
First, there is the full-court press that follows a progressive political-machine-driven agenda item. Out of nowhere, the usual suspects are decrying the ills of gas cooking.
This is one of the creepiest parts of modern progressivism. AOC had never tweeted about stoves before yesterday, but, when she did for the first time, her tone was one of weary condescension toward the bitter-enders whom she’s been trying to inform for years. It’s cultish. pic.twitter.com/UX8FYuPim2

But wait! Lots of Lib experts, including AOC, love to cook using gas.

And it’s okay for them to do that because there is no evidence that what the gas-hating NGO-funded report says is true.
First of all, the largest analysis of any link between gas stoves & childhood asthma (500,000+ children sampled worldwide) found “no evidence of an association between the use of gas as a cooking fuel and either asthma symptoms or asthma diagnosis.” https://t.co/vNADeKBKVv

As it turns out, RMI, the company we outed on Tuesday, is part of something called Carbon-Free Buildings, and they are partnered with the WEF, and a goal to eliminate all emissions ‘cuz reasons.
Reasons that have been unraveled and exposed in a matter of two days.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission cited as considering the ban earlier this week has not just walked back but run from any speculation that it could or would ban gas stoves. What Commission Chair Trumpka Jr has been intimating isn’t even on the table.
But the head of the CPSC, Alexander Hoehn-Saric, said on Wednesday that the agency had no such plans.
“I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so,” Hoehn-Saric said in a statement to Bloomberg on Wednesday, just a day after discussions of a ban set off a flurry of reactions on both sides.
Hoehn-Saric added that the Commission—made up of just four members—was researching emissions from gas stoves.
So, why did Trumpka Jr. even say anything?
[T]he principal oversight committee of the House of Representatives, asked the Commission to turn over documents and information “about the CPSC’s failure to establish safety standards and provide adequate warnings to consumers addressing the significant health risks posed by indoor air pollution from gas stoves.”
My guess is that a Democrat lead congressional committee pushed for action on the inaction months ago, probably based on the desire of the WEF, which then prodded RMI to create a report that would make the CPSC look like slackers who could then deliver the biased research as evidence for banning a product with no previous history of harm because if fits their war on fossil fuels.
A war that ends with the rise of an electric-only world that will deliberately be ill-equipped to meet demand. It is a world where depopulation advocates will get more of what they want, which is fewer of us.
