LINCOLN- Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers and 22 of his Republican counterparts filed a comment on Monday with the U.S. Department of Energy, hinting at possible legal action should the department follow through with new energy-efficiency standards on stoves, cooktops, and ovens.

Hilgers is the latest Republican to question the Biden Administration's efforts to reduce indoor-air emissions and power consumption from indoor cooking. U.S. Rep. Mike Flood had previously made a video targeting the proposed regulations. Hilgers and the other attorneys general argue the proposed change would make new stoves and cooktops more expensive over time.

"The Biden Administration continues its stringent regulations on household appliances," Hilgers said following the filing of the comment, "Raising the cost of kitchen appliances could impact hardworking Nebraskans already facing economic challenges. It is as out of touch as it is legally dubious."
