Just as Republicans have identified one’s method of cooking as the newest front in the culture wars, the Department of Energy has proposed efficiency standards for cooktop appliances for the first time, something few would care about if not for the absurd hysteria surrounding gas stoves.

For the uninitiated, there is a growing body of evidence as the result of decades of research showing gas stoves produce dangerous amounts of indoor air pollution especially for children. People who buy air quality monitors and test the emissions of their gas stoves find clear, direct causal relationships between harmful particulate emissions in their kitchens and the times the gas stove is on. A recent study that adds to the body of research found that 12.7 percent of childhood asthma cases in the U.S. is “attributable to gas stove use.”
