Kamala Harris Faces Backlash for Thanksgiving Gas Stove Hypocrisy

Vice President Kamala Harris faced backlash on social media after posting a Thanksgiving photo showing her using a gas stove, which the Biden administration had previously considered banning due to environmental concerns. Critics accused Harris of hypocrisy for advocating against gas stoves while using one herself. However, the White House clarified that President Biden does not support a federal gas stove ban. Earlier this year, concerns were raised about a possible ban on gas stoves, but officials from the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Department of Energy clarified that regulations would apply to new products and that the government does not plan to ban gas stoves.

Kamala Harris Faces Backlash Over Thanksgiving Pic: Gas Stove Controversy

Vice President Kamala Harris faced criticism on social media after sharing a Thanksgiving post featuring her and her husband posing next to a gas stove, despite the Biden administration's previous proposal to ban gas stoves. Conservatives pointed out the contradiction, as the administration had advocated for the ban due to health concerns. Although the idea of banning existing stoves was scrapped, a proposed Department of Energy regulation for stricter energy efficiency standards for gas stoves followed. The House of Representatives approved an amendment to prevent the implementation of these regulations, with support from both Republicans and several Democrats.

The Controversial Gas Ban in New York: What You Need to Know.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faced criticism after his state, New York, approved a sweeping budget that bans gas hookups in new residential buildings by 2026, despite his earlier comments downplaying the threat of such bans. Republicans and gas industry advocates have criticized the move, while also introducing federal efforts to protect gas stoves. The ban comes after a President Biden-appointed member of the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission floated the idea of a nationwide ban on natural gas-powered stovetops, citing potential respiratory health concerns.

New York Set to Ban Gas Stoves in New Homes

Lawmakers in New York are set to pass legislation that would ban the use of gas stoves, water heaters, and fossil fuel furnaces in new buildings, making it the first state in the US to do so through a legislative measure. The proposal, which is expected to be included in the state budget due on March 31, has received support from Governor Kathy Hochul and many Democrats in the state legislature. The ban would not apply to existing homes that use gas stoves or other gas-powered appliances, but the state's climate plan could take such steps in the future.
