Biden will set new stove rules. No, he’s not coming for your gas burners.

The Energy Department is poised to finalize modest new efficiency standards for gas and electric stoves and ovens, potentially saving consumers in power bills.

The topic of gas stoves ignited a heated debate last year when a Biden appointee suggested they could be banned because they posed a risk to human health.

But a ban isn’t in the works — and this week the administration will finalize a scaled-back plan to make new stoves less energy-intensive.

    Wow, thank you for this. I still have not been impressed with how they are to cook with, but this does make it very enticing to make the switch. I’ve had both a coil & enamel top at different apts and hated both (coil better imo). I might have to find a way to demo a newer model somehow
