Your gas stove is safe.
The US Energy Department announced new energy efficiency standards for ovens and stoves, and the big takeaway is: Not much is changing.
The department assured that the vast majority of gas stoves on the market – 97% – already meet the standards.
Trumka had confirmed to CNN that “everything’s on the table” when it comes to gas stoves, but stressed that any ban would apply only to new gas stoves, not existing ones.
“I can tell you the last thing that would ever leave my house is the gas stove that we cook on.”CNN’s Matt Egan contributed to this story.
