Advertisment:Claim: U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration is planning to ban gas stoves over concerns surrounding climate change. Some social media users claimed that U.S. President Joe Biden's administration was considering such a ban over climate change concerns. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have linked air pollutants from gas stoves to a range of health concerns, including cardiovascular problems and cancer. They pointed out that more than 40 million homes in the U.S. rely on gas stoves for cooking, and "methane leaks from gas stoves inside U.S. homes were recently found to contribute the equivalent climate impacts as about 500,000 gasoline-powered cars." Another option besides imposing a ban on the import and manufacturing of gas stoves was to set standards on emissions from the stoves.
