The war on coal has consequences.
Part of obama’s plan to subjugate America. Cold and starving people are more compliant ... ask the NKs.
the war on the average citizen has consequences.
I’m in Texas. It just flat-out gets hot here from May to September and there’s no way around it. I’m absolutely fine with that as a native.
But, last summer, I installed a small window unit in my living room........and the damn thing saved me about $150 a month in cooling costs. I have Central Heat and Air and have had my whole life so that’s just par for the course for me. Last summer I turned the therm up to 80F and left the window unit to go full blast all day long while at work and I would get home in the evening and find most of the house very habitable. Not cool, but acceptable. Dog was fine.
The war on coal I hate. The efforts to allow more people to be less dependant on electricity I can sort of understand. I look a lot into generating your own electricity and heat more today than ever before.
No, it’s because we’re becoming more efficient in using electricity. Most FReepers just like to make fun of it, but switchmode power supplies, LED and LCD displays, and LED/CFL lighting have allowed us to expand the population while using less energy. What’s not to like?
Man, you said it. He was so geeked up about infrastructure. Well, there is no more important infrastructure than the power grid.
And all those coal miners who backed “His Highness” are now screwed.
