Bidenomics, baby! That’s the term the Biden administration is “quite proud” of, but that nobody is able to define. Or, perhaps they are able to explain it, but avoid providing particulars about what it means because doing so would pop any illusion that the president’s economic and “cost-saving” policies are working.
For example, remember that gas stove crackdown that the Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has long touted as being necessary to save energy and money for the American people? Well, the Department of Energy recently revised its expectations for exactly how much the average American would save under new rules, which would effectively ban nearly 50% of gas stoves off the market.
Under “Bidenomics,” consumers could save nine cents a month by ditching their gas stoves. That means you would save just shy of $11 over the next decade.
Why the change?
Well, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), the professionals at DOE had their initial data wrong.
“The changes in energy savings projected by DOE primarily result from DOE recognizing that the currently available cooking products are more efficient than its earlier analysis assumed,” AHAM told Fox News.
This lesson really serves as another prime example of why it’s good to question the experts — despite the Biden administration’s admonishment not to do so.
Central planners like Granholm and the gang so often overemphasize a problem and upsell the promise of their solutions only to “quietly” tamp down expectations once the spotlight is focused on something else — such as the DOE’s incandescent lightbulb ban. Don’t worry, the DOE promises that, too, will be better for you and me. No questions asked, and thank the government, they tell us.

Bidenomics: Save money by starving.
Considering the cost of equipment changing and maintenance, this is a very negative NPV proposition!
The additional infrastructure FOR THE BASE ELECTRICAL POWER will cost $BILLIONS. No one bothers to consider increased power source and transmission lines expense. Moonbats think no further than just plugging in a toaster.
Or maybe cost more. Electric stoves suck to cook on
$0.09, huh? Gasoline was up $0.10 since Monday. I can buy almost a gallon at Monday’s price with the savings. Sign me up!
🔝🔝🔝
Stupid idiots put in office by
stupid idiots appoint
stupid idiots which do
stupid, idiotic things.
See ‘AOC’
It’s hard to spend money when you’re dead.
They will save a lot more than nine cents a month.....
When there is no electricity to be had.
Enjoy your room-temperature bugs, peasants!
9 cents per month how?
How much, per BTU, does gas cost compared to electric?
I use electric because I have always used electric. There are some techniques that you develop with either method that have to be learned through practice. Electric simmers nicely with the heat spread across the entire pan, but takes longer to heat. And you have to be anticipatory of the pending hard boil if you turn the heat on high.
(When there is no electricity to be had.)
I am starting to believe that is “The Plan” /shiny side out
Or Bernie Sanders, Fauxahontas, Nadler the penguin and Schiffhead.
Yep
What gives the administration the right to ban light bulbs, stoves, gas engines?
Total compliance of the people.
(see COVID ...)
Not in NH where electric rates are ridiculous.
And that 9 cents /month will disappear pretty quickly at the first electric rate increase because of increased demand.
Preach it!
I hated ours. Glad we got a gas stove just recently.
—Electric stoves suck to cook on—
The only exception are induction cooktops. They work quite well.
Just buy an electric car. That way you can cook all the food in your house at the same time.
I love my induction stove top
