                          DEFENDING GAS STOVES

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Congresswoman Debbie 
Lesko for her fight and for our fight regarding gas stoves.
  What the Biden administration is trying to do with gas stoves is 
something that has become, sadly, more and more common from President 
Biden's party.
  It doesn't matter to the Hollywood elite, it doesn't matter to the 
limousine liberals, it doesn't matter to the Silicon Valley 
billionaires, and it doesn't, quite frankly, matter to the welfare 
classes. However, it matters to the middle class as to what their 
electric or monthly energy bill is.
  This is part of the Biden administration's effort to shut down gas 
stoves, which are much cheaper to operate than electric stoves, and it 
is a growing trend towards ignoring the middle class in America.
  These other groups I don't think would know what their electric bill 
is, but we have to bring back the gas stoves on the grounds that it 
will save money for the middle class who does know exactly what their 
electric bill is.
