Mr. Chair, respectfully, my Democratic colleague, Mr. Pallone, said: We are not banning gas stoves. Yet, the Department of Energy studied this for many years, and in their own analysis, their own book, and their own standards called the technical support document in table 1032, it says that only 4 percent of the gas cooktops that they have tested will meet the qualifications. That is 96 percent that will not. It says that is 4 percent of market share, meaning 96 percent won't. Even if it is true, which I don't think it is, where Mr. Pallone says that now 50 percent already qualify, that means 50 percent don't. To me, that is at least a 50 percent ban. Mr. Chair, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan).
