May we chalk this up to total disregard for demand, and operating under the duress of mandated placement of less desirable products in the hands of the consumers?
Just look at what is happening to gas-fueled appliances, and the mandate that homes be all-electric. Where is the electricity going to be coming from? The electric grid is woefully inadequate in places already, and there is not enough infrastructure being built.
Now do not misunderstand, electricity is a perfectly satisfactory means of providing energy for domestic purposes, but the transformation is being forced and not left to market activity.
Placing the cart before the horse has always been a bad engineering choice, in physical, social, and economic terms.
One of the more galling parts of these mandates is that the DC poohbahs handing down these edicts for energy-efficient/smart/run forever to minimally do what they're supposed to do appliances leave their cushy federal offices in a gas-powered limo and go out to eat at a restaurant powered by a gas stove on dishes washed in commercial dishwashers and after dinner go home in their gas-powered limo to their posh residences heated by gas furnaces where they change into clothes that were laundered in commercial washers and dryers running the same way they have for 50 years while patting themselves on the back for having done great things that day for the environment by the edicts they handed down.
AOC: You silly conservatives - electricity comes from the wall outlet!
