It also ran contrary to a large previous study that employed a similar methodology.<\/p>\n<p>CPSC Chair Alexander Hoehn-Saric quickly sought to shut down talk of a prohibition on gas stoves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so,\u201d he said a few days later.<\/p>\n<p>Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was also among those who attempted to curtail rumors of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-another-bill-protecting-gas-stoves-from-being-banned\/\" title=\"House Approves Bill Safeguarding Gas Stoves Against Bans\">gas stove bans based<\/a> on Trumka\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n<p>In late January, Granholm\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B4gtt1Krtcw&#038;t=189s\">said<\/a> the notion of a gas stove ban was \u201cso ridiculous\u201d and \u201cjust not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, an internal memorandum penned by Trumka late last year shows that his concerns run deeper than some off-the-cuff remarks to a reporter.<\/p>\n<p>In that document, he stated that a gas stove ban in homes could be advanced this fiscal year based on the amount and strength of evidence CPSC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 14, the House swiftly approved the Save Our Stoves Act, with 249 representatives voting in favor and 181 against.
