Biden Bans Gas Stoves And Appliances In Federal Buildings

US: The Department of Energy (DOE) issued the final rule, which mandates government agencies to "phase out" and eventually cease on-site use of fossil fuels beginning in 2030. The final regulation prohibits new government buildings built after 2030 from having the natural gas hookups required to operate gas stoves and other equipment. Prior to the 2030 deadline, the regulation will force new buildings and those receiving significant renovations between 2025 and 2029 to reduce fossil fuel use by 90%, according to the DOE. The Biden DOE has actively regulated to promote more energy efficient gadgets, which are often more expensive up front and run on electricity rather than fossil fuels. Under Granholm and President Joe Biden's watch, the DOE and other agencies pushed restrictions aimed at light bulbs, portable generators, pool pump motors, water heaters, and furnaces.
