"The House voted Wednesday to bar the Energy Department from moving forward with a proposed rule governing efficiency requirements for both gas and electric cooking appliances.

The 249-181 vote came as part of a broader fight over gas stoves. Republicans are seeking to play up attempts to regulate them as an example of Democratic overreach.

The bill is unlikely to be taken up by Democratic leaders in the Senate. The White House has expressed opposition to the bill but stopped short of a veto threat."
