Republicans will use a House hearing and a markup Wednesday to fan the flames over proposed DOE efficiency standards.
“Thankfully, Julia Child was able to cook her masterful creations and have her gas range displayed in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History before DOE had a chance to ban it,” the American Gas Association wrote in its comments last month on DOE’s proposal.
Manufacturers who oppose the proposed action, however, point to “sloppy” changes in DOE’s analysis and methodology on the efficiency regulation that they say overstate how many stoves will comply with the proposed standards. “It’s not some war on gas products or gas stoves or your kitchen or anything like that,” said Joe Vukovich, an energy efficiency advocate at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “It’s a program that saves consumers money and is good for the environment.”
The rule would leave basic stove models that make up about half of the market untouched and propose “modest” changes to commercial-grade models to meet the proposed standard, deLaski said. Granholm echoed that this month, telling lawmakers the proposal looked only at high-end gas stoves. Andthat every major manufacturer already has gas models that meet or exceed the proposed level.
