The topic of gas stoves ignited a heated debate last year when a Biden appointee suggested they could be banned because they posed a risk to human health.

But a ban isn’t in the works — and this week the administration will finalize a scaled-back plan to make new stoves less energy-intensive.

    It’s really down to what timeframe you’re looking at. I do want to get a new toilet exactly because my “low flow” toilet from 25+ years ago doesn’t flush as well as a modern one . Meanwhile the real water hogs from 50+ years ago could flush a sailboat.

    I think water saving toilets went in generations like: 5+ gal—>3.5 gal—>1.6 gal—>1.2 gal

    I’m at the 1.6 gallon flush generation, but modern ones about 1.2 gallon or better were where the technology actually improved
