That is about to multiply.
Our battery salesmen is going to whine about this article.
Must be stopped immediately! How dare the peons think they are allowed affordable energy!
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
Their purpose for pushing/forcing everyone to electricity ... is NOT to save anyone $$$$....it’s all about CONTROL.
They can flip that switch off, any time. Harder with gas lines.
IMHO for those of us who live in the south where the winters aren't bad, the most inexpensive way to heat the home in the winter is with a variable speed heat pump combined with a gas furnace for the few times the weather is too cold for the heat pump.
government under Democrats:
baby murder - Ja!
gas stove - Nein!
Electricity now is natural gas piped through wires
The EPA will require CO2 capture or ‘green’ hydrogen to generate much of the electricity of the USA.
[[Households using electricity to heat homes are projected to pay $1,063 on average]]
Is this an average “just for” electric heat? Or an “average monthly electric bill payment”?
“Everyday things that people actually want are going to get more expensive or disappear, and the products that will be available will be more expensive but not better. People are going to wonder why life is worse.”
Yep. Recently bought a t-shirt at the hardware store. Of the same brand I’d purchased years back. Just threw it in the cart, thinking it’d be the same comfortable, long-wearing shirt. Nope. Once home, I noticed that it felt like sandpaper, and also felt kinda light. Huh. (Yes, should have been more careful when purchasing...). Finally weighed the damned thing: yep, lighter than the old one, even after the old one had been washed and dried dozens of times. Fabric was crap.
Could somebody, anybody, please show me where in that pesky constitution thingie, that anybody is given the right to regulate my fireplace?
Or my stove....
Or my automobile....
Or my hot water....
We have had a propane heater for a few years as backup to the electricity but last spring I had a larger propane tank installed. We will now use the propane for heat and the electric as backup. We can’t get natural gas. Too far out in the hills.
The propane is still cheaper than electric for heat and warmer too.
Don’t worry, the WEF and their acolytes (Schwab, Soros, Obama, Gates, etc) will take care of that.
My wood stove doesn’t have a thermostat but a few cords will last all winter.
The costs for electric heating will drop dramatically when the grid collapses. No electricity means no charges!
Down here in the South, reverse-cycle electric heat is cheaper than gas. Plus, you use the same unit.
Didn’t need a researched article to figure this one out. For years, I compared my electric bill to my gas bill.
Then one day, the legendary Dr. Bill Wattenberg out of 5000 watt radio station KGO stated the obvious, that we have abundant natural gas in California and switching to natural gas powered buses would save a bundle.
Of course, that was before Donald Trump lifted the totalitarian hand of Amerika off the backs of producers of oil and America became the top producer of oil in the world! Still, abundance of any form of energy is desirable in a free country.
The company I work for is on a big electrification push. Corporate has mandated that all new equipment be electrically heated, not natural gas fired. We are already the biggest electrical consumer in this part of the state and we heat large ovens and many literal tons of molten metal with gas.
When the point is made that natural gas is cheap and much of our electricity is made from natural gas so electrification results in more expense and more CO2 emissions, their answer is that how the electricity is generated is not our concern, we need to be ready as green energy sources come online. They don’t care that we will spend millions more a year extra in electricity as we convert our gas heated equipment over to electric.
The result is millions in stockholders’ money wasted just to make the ESG score look better. So much for fiduciary responsibility.
NatGas is the most efficient energy source on the planet which is why Communists have to destroy it.
