"DOE's New Rules Spark Gas Stove Debate Resurgence"

The Department of Energy has finalized new energy efficiency standards for stoves, with a minimal impact on gas models but a significant impact on electric stoves, which will need to comply by 2028. The changes are projected to lower Americans' utility bills by $1.6 billion over 30 years and reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by almost 4 million metric tons. The regulations were prompted by concerns over gas stoves' potential health hazards, but the final standards are less stringent than initially proposed. New regulations for other appliances are also in the pipeline.
