Richard Trumka Jr., the commissioner who floated the idea of a ban in an interview with Bloomberg News, also tweeted that the commission “isn’t coming for anyone’s gas stoves,” adding that any regulations would apply to new products, not existing stoves.

To be clear, CPSC isn't coming for anyone's gas stoves. Regulations apply to new products.
For Americans who CHOOSE to switch from gas to electric, there is support available – Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act which includes a $840 rebate. https://t.co/fcmWMSSfE5
