Albuquerque – Today, every member of the New Mexico House Congressional delegation voted to let the Biden Administration continue to push onerous rules against gas stoves. Despite their opposition, the “Save Our Gas Stoves Act” received bipartisan support from 29 Democrats in the House. The measure easily passed the chamber with 249 votes.

“The Biden Administration is coming after so many aspects in the lives of New Mexicans, you would think our representatives would stand up for our families. Sadly, the best they can do is tweet middle-school jokes while Joe Biden forces his green agenda through executive rules,” said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. “The natural gas industry provides jobs and critical revenue for our state and when it’s under attack New Mexico needs leaders. Sadly, all we have are petty politicians.”

According to the Wall Street Journal:

In February the Energy Department issued an attack on gas stoves disguised as an “efficiency” regulation. The proposed rule would ban most current gas models and make replacements far less functional. The Energy Information Administration says that in 2020 nearly 40% of Americans used gas to cook in their homes.”
