New Biden Administration Rule Targets Portable Gas Generators and Water Heaters

Mere months after the Biden administration proposed a ban on gas stoves, it announced a new rule that would essentially prohibit the manufacturing of nearly all portable gas generators in the country.

After seeking to reduce the use of gas stoves, the Biden administration is pushing a proposal to ban the sale of almost all portable gas generators—which some experts have said would be disastrous for the millions of Americans who rely on such generators during power outages.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has proposed a policy (pdf) that would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the market. The new rule restricts the amount of carbon monoxide that generators can emit by forcing these generators to switch off when they reach a certain level of emissions.

The rules are so stringent that 95% of portable gas generators would not meet the requirements.

“A proposed Consumer Product Safety Commission rule limits the amount of carbon monoxide a product can emit, with the commission admitting that 95 percent of portable gas generators on the market cannot comply with its new standard,” the site said.

The CPSC also posted a statement insisting that they recommend “that requirements be developed to address consumer exposure to unsafe CO emissions.”

These rules are so stringent that few machines currently on the market will pass the new emissions requirements, so almost none of the generators currently being made today are able to meet these stringent new rules. Meaning that gas generator manufacturers would have to go back to the drawing board.

Gas generators and water heaters are targeted by Biden.

Just one more step towards ruining the country by unelected bureaucrats

Just one more step towards ruining the country by unelected bureaucrats 

In spite of the fact that the unelected bureaucrats of the #JoeThePretender regime have been slapped down HARD by the USSC just within the last year. The smackdown of the EPA for unauthorized monkeying with "the rules" had reverberations into the AFT's gun grabbing agenda that have still yet to be fully delved into.

I think, #SpongeBrainShitPants is gonna find it more difficult to reign with a "pen and a phone" than Reggie Love's Li'l Bitch ever did. Maybe it's because "Dr. Jill" just isn't as intimidating as "Big Mike"?
