More than two dozen Democrats join GOP in opposing Biden gas stove ban
The House of Representatives passed the amendment to the GOP's big energy bill on Wednesday

The House late Wednesday approved an amendment – with help from several Democrats – that would prevent the Department of Energy from implementing strict new regulations on gas stoves that most stoves on the market today would not be able to meet.

The House voted 251 to 181 in favor of the amendment from Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., to a larger energy policy bill, and X Democrats voted with the GOP.

Republicans have been looking to defend the use of gas stoves ever since the Consumer Product Safety Commission indicated it could ban stoves for health reasons. That idea was scrapped, but it was followed by a proposed Department of Energy regulation that would impose tough new energy efficiency standards for gas stoves.
