WASHINGTON, D.C.—On May 16, U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08)’s Save Our Gas Stoves Act to block the U.S. Department of Energy from implementing its proposed efficiency standard for gas cooking products passed out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security.

Watch her full remarks here.

“I am proud that my legislation, the Save Our Gas Stoves Act, has passed out of the Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security,” said Congresswoman Lesko. “President Biden’s Department of Energy proposed an extreme rule that is just a back door attempt to ban virtually all gas stoves and exert government control into every aspect of Americans’ lives in the name of the far left’s climate agenda. I will continue to fight to protect Americans’ consumer choice. I am grateful for my colleagues’ support on this important legislation, and I hope the bill comes up for a vote before the full committee soon.”

This legislation amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prevent the Secretary of Energy from implementing energy conservation standards if the standards result in the unavailability of a product on account of the type of fuel the product uses. The bill also prohibits the Department of Energy from finalizing and implementing the February 1, 2023, proposed energy efficiency standard for gas cooking products.
