President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering taking executive action to protect gas stoves from regulatory overreach, Reuters reported Tuesday.
The executive order being considered would also cover other gas-powered appliances, including heaters, after Democrats and the Biden administration spent years advancing regulations that would restrict their use over time, according to Reuters. The details of the action under consideration are not yet clear, but the policy would likely be in line with a Congressional push to cut funding to dissuade state and local governments from pursuing gas appliance phase-out policies.
“It speaks volumes when an order from the White House is needed to stop our own government from banning natural gas furnaces and water heaters,” Karen Harbert, president of the American Gas Association, told Reuters in a statement.
Interesting little tidbit from @EENewsUpdates this morning.
It came as a surprise, especially since we have all been reliably informed that Democrats are not trying to get rid of gas stoves. pic.twitter.com/nEyEUWfqhm

Approximately 75 million American households used natural gas to power at least one appliance as of 2020, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Approximately 47 million U.S. households used gas for cooking purposes in 2020, an increase from 39 million households in 2015.
