"The Department of Energy unveiled a heavily anticipated, scaled-back regulation Monday to cut greenhouse gas emissions from stovetop cooking in the U.S., going with a compromise that pleased gas stove producers and environmentalists alike. Stoves that consume 1,770 thousand British thermal units per year of gas will be permitted under the new regulation, which aligns with a compromise floated last year by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers and the environmental group Appliance Standards Awareness Project. That’s a much more flexible regulation than the 1,204-kBtu threshold initially proposed by DOE.

Along with a rulemaking process at the Consumer Product Safety Commission that could potentially restrict American access to gas stoves, critics said federal rules on gas stoves represents a federal infringement on American lives. Lawmakers introduced legislation to prohibit gas stove action at DOE and the CPSC. DOE said the regulation would only impact 3 percent of gas stoves on the market. The regulation is set to take effect in early 2028.

The American Gas Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. The industry group is suing DOE to block a separate rule on gas furnaces."
