Termite Larvae Taste Better Cooked on Natural Gas!

 So, after yesterday's post, you know the government lies, seemingly about everything.  Jenny Beth Martin, at Townhall.com has the latest lies from the Biden administration entitled Keep Government Out Of Our Kitchens; The Gas Stove Ban Is Heating Up. You may remember that Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumpka, Jr. (yes, the son of THAT Richard Trumpka) first said the Consumer Product Safety Commission would ban gas stoves, then backpedalled and said it was just some talk. But now the CPSC has put out a Request for Information in the Federal Register, a first step in rule making.

The RFI “seeks comment on all significant aspects of this issue,” including information “related to the scope and scale of potential chronic chemical hazards, exposures, and risks associated with gas range use,” “data sources and approaches CPSC should consider when completing an evaluation of chronic chemical hazards, exposures, and risks related to gas range use,” and “proposed solutions related to any chronic chemical hazards, exposures, and risks associated with gas range use.”

Said CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka, Jr. about the announcement of the RFI, “The trust between CPSC and the American consumer exists because actions like the one we take today make clear that we only act in service to consumer safety … This Request for Information furthers our commitment to American consumers because step one in confronting a potential hazard is understanding its scope and the options for addressing it.”

Those two sentences contain multiple lies.

First, the CPSC, most certainly in this case, is not acting “in service to consumer safety.” Instead, it serves a green energy agenda that says fossil fuels must be banned. The agenda begins at the endpoint – banning fossil fuels – and then works backward to figure out a way to ban fossil fuels. That’s where the alleged “chronic chemical hazards associated with using gas ranges” come in. Claiming that there’s a “chronic chemical hazard” (read: health risk) attached to using natural gas stoves – which is very much in dispute – is just a convenient cover for the coercive arm of government power.

Second, Trumka doesn’t believe natural gas stoves present a “potential” hazard; he thinks they pose a definite risk. He uses the word “potential” to make himself sound reasonable as if he has an open mind on this matter rather than being what he is – an ideologue determined to promote the green energy agenda to which he is committed, no matter what it takes. He shouldn’t be using the word “potential” as an adjective to describe “hazard” because he is using that word deliberately to create the (false) impression that he could conclude, in the end, that natural gas stoves pose no hazard at all. And that’s wrong. He’s not open to that conclusion. On this matter, his mind is most definitely made up.

In seeking to discover the "hazards" of gas stoves, the CPSC is inviting disgrntled crackpots to submit false claims. Gas has been used for over 100 years as a cooking fuel. It is used exclusively in restaurants because of its superior heating ability and control. I have also used gas at home, and much prefer it to electricity. But there are no gas lines out in the country side where the Beautiful PolyKahr Estates are located. There are no health hazards associated with gas. Rather, destroying the fossil fuel industry is at the heart of this ideological war on gas stoves. But, of course, it will not end there. Eventually it will be gas furnaces and everything else that runs on gas tin this war on fossil fuels. You must nip this one in the bud.  <sarcasm>After all, termite larvae taste better cooked on natural gas!</sarcasm>
