Restaurants. Almost all

I have never seen an electric pizza oven in a restaurant, and I have been to many, look for the oven when I can find it, and have worked in a couple. Always gas, coal, or wood. Heck, even Little Caesar's uses gas as far as I can tell. I am not counting electricity used for a conveyor belt for those inferior places that use that style of oven. I believe the heat still comes from gas.

We are literally funding our own demise.

Might be time to buy a Franklin stove!

"Why won't Americans just do what we tell them to, like most other peoples?

"They tell us to stuff our vax and the masks, insist on burning petroleum, and the guns - what's with that 'come and take them' mantra?

"Why can't they be more compliant like thier Canadian and Aussie cousins?"

To answer the question in the headline, yes, I did briefly wonder what this was all about. Then, I just assumed it another idiotic environmental crusade that was based on lies. Glad I didn’t dig in to just confirm that.

“they’ve already gotten our incandescent light bulbs and flush toilets in many quarters.”

Red Herrings BOTH!

Low flow toilets saves us BILLIONS and BILLIONS of gallons of fresh water and produced BILLIONS and BILLIONS of gallons less sewage.

A VERY GOOD thing.

Incandescent light bulbs are little better than candles! The LED lights are a DRAMATIC step forward in saving energy and money. The incandescent light bulbs are a YUGE waste of energy!

Little Dick Trumka Jr. whose bastardly biological parent proudly stated “We shoved Obamacare down the Republicans’ throats” right after Nanzi Polizei got it passed so she could read it and find out what was in it.

“...there are many Republicans involved also.”

Indeed there are. Just yesterday Gov. Kemp (R-GA) received an award and standing ovation at Davos for helping elect Joe Biden over Trump.

I went to Canada to get regular flush toilets when I built our home in northern Illinois. We were adjacent to a flood plain, got plenty of rain, and got our water from a well on our land and sewage went back into our overbuilt septic. In fact, using too little water is NOT great for septic systems. There was no waste of water because it came from our land and went back into our land.

Flushing twice doesn't help, either.

Incandescent bulbs generate heat as well as light, so that energy is NOT wasted in colder areas half the year. The fluorescent lights send my brother-in-law into epileptic seizures. The LEDs have finally gotten much better, but don't need a regulation to get people to adopt them.

We didn't need regulations to go from CRT monitors to the superior LCD flat screens for TVs and desktop computers. People will buy a better product when it is ready for them at a price that makes sense.

You miss the point. Solutions by Government mandate from planners instead of engineers carefully reacting to demands and available technology made both of those switchovers ineffective and problematic.

There was a period of ten years where we flushed twice instead of once because the damn mandated toilets did not work. Why didn’t they work? Because they were not yet engineered to work due t sudden mandate. We wasted time and then not only bought those revised toilets but then had to replace them with low water toilets that did work long before they should have needed replacement — wastefulness to the max.

Bulbs were the same. The first ten years were poor quality, expensive and wasteful in cost. It is the government mandate that is the problem, not the concept but the implementation.

Trumka is the son of the Terrorist UAW President Richard Trumka who led the United Mine Workers on a terrorist strike in South West Virginia.

The camo clad UMWA miners, wives, children and Nuns destroyed property, entered and illegally occupied private property, impeded the public hiways and generally threatened the SW Virginia economy

The spawn of a terrorist should be stricken from America
