Joe Biden is officially not coming after your gas stove. He never was.

The Energy Department announced new energy efficiency standards for
ovens and gas stoves on Monday that are weaker than what it initially
proposed last year. The move comes after Republicans and some centrist
Democrats accused the Biden administration of seeking to ban gas stoves
– a move the Biden rule never actually contemplated. POLITICO’s Kelsey
Tamborrino breaks down the details and politics of Biden’s new gas stove
rule. Plus, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in late March about
the Biden administration's objections to a multistate agreement
governing the Rio Grande river.
