I don't know about the Murphy thing, I do know the gas stove ban idea came from the Consumer Product Safety Commision, which is not involved in climate change in any capacity, and stated it was because of links to childhood asthma which have increased significantly over the decades.
I do not want an electric stove or oven. When the electricity goes out I can't cook or heat up my food without candles or a little camper stove that heats up with fire.

Also, when there was no electricity for six days after Sandy, I came home from where I went to work each day during that period and put on all five burners on my stove. Shut the two bedroom doors, and within 45 minutes, my condo was toasty warm. And I could cook.
My sister and her husband in Monroe had to huddle next to their fireplace because they are all electric.

No, the gas stove thing was proposed by the CPSC, but it didn't come from there. The climate change thing is the real reason and the asthma thing was a fig leaf for CPSC involvement (since, as you say, the CPSC is not actually involved in climate change). This was an administration trial balloon.

Using your unvented stove for heat probably isn't so good for you. Big difference between running all five burners full blast and just cooking on them for a short while. But on the other hand, freezing to death isn't good for you either.
IDK if I’m the only one and it might be just in my head, although many others have agreed with me. I prefer to cook and eat food prepared on a natural gas stove versus an electric range. The taste/texture of food is superior and electric ranges seem to burn food easily.
I had electric ranges in my dorm apartments in college and I absolutely hated them.

Well, it's more than 10 years later and I seem to have no ill effects from those six days of using my burners for an hour or so a day.

Why do you think you're the only one?
Absolutely prefer gas burners with real fire. Trust me, I miss my gas stove so much. I am stuck for now with electric glass top up here. Waiting an interminable amount of time for water to boil and not being able to adjust heat quickly is frustrating.
I did get to visit my gas stove last week for a few days. Had no chance to cook on it, though, besides eggs one morning.
