The Energy Department is poised to finalize modest efficiency standards for stoves and ovens, potentially saving consumers money on energy bills - eviltoast

The topic of gas stoves ignited a heated debate last year when a Biden appointee suggested they could be banned because they posed a risk to human health.

But a ban isn’t in the works — and this week the administration will finalize a scaled-back plan to make new stoves less energy-intensive.

    You’re conflating two things:

    1. Most stoves are installed at home, and designed for ordinary at-home use
    2. A standard for the efficiency of new stoves manufactured 2028 and later

    That’s just sealioning.
