Supreme Court Vacates Decision Outlawing Gas Stoves, Water Heaters
8th June 2026
On Monday, the Supreme Court vacated a lower court ruling that upheld Biden Energy Department regulations that would outlaw gas stoves and water heaters in Americans’ homes and require homeowners with these to either renovate their homes or switch to electric appliances.
In American Gas Association, et al. V. Dept. Of Energy, et al, the District of Columbia’s district court upheld the Biden Administration’s regulations banning the use of non-condensing appliances, effectively eliminating gas furnaces and water heaters from the marketplace.
In response, the American Gas Association, American Public Gas Association and National Propane Gas Association asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decision. In their petition to the high court for a writ of certiorari, they stressed the consequences of allowing the lower court’s decision to stand.
