Just the commie ‘RATS doing all the things they accuse the Republicans of trying to do.
God damn these leftist tyrants!
I don’t know why people are putting up with this.
The government is already mandating what toilet, faucet, and showerhead we can use, they are taking away from us our incandescent lighbulbs, they are going to mandate what kind of appliances we can use IN OUR OWN HOMES and how much water and energy we can use!
NONE of this is the government’s business.
This is again, all about government control, has nothing to do with “saving the planet and environment”.
wtf
I say extremists are those that continue to support the existence of the Depts. of Education and Energy.
“authority the department has under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. That law gives the DOE the power to set efficiency standards for energy-consuming products.”
Unrestrained power to unelected officials and we can do nothing about it — except elect a Republican majority who better overturn all this!
We’ll be beating our clothes on rock by the stream before you know it.
New subject same issue.
We the Legislative branch has ceded it’s laws making authority to the executive branch. We have become a country ruled but a President and a President alone. Sometimes our ruler is a Republican President, sometimes it’s a Democratic President but we always have ONE person who can make up laws all by himself and fine or jail people at his discretion. The only check on this one person is a court that the executive branch appoints.

Why don’t they just ban the use of electricity and water in homes, except for allowing two cups of water for drinking per person, just look how much energy that would conserve.
Bring back the outhouses, send people washing their clothes in the stream (and if you don’t have a stream near you, it’s just tough!). Candles are probably bad for the environment too, so people should just go to bed when it gets dark.
(sarcasm, of course, but that is where they are headed)
My keyboard is going low on batteries. I want a do-over.
New subject, same issue.

In 1776, America's Founders abandoned the European model and triggered the greatest explosion of liberty for individuals, the greatest opportunity for individual achievement, and the most prosperous and wealthy nation on earth.
Leaders of that day, including Edmund Burke in his Speech on Conciliation, as well as early American historians, made note of the astounding difference between the American and European economies. They also noted the difference between the amount of individual liberty which existed for citizens.
While Europe struggled with oppressive government intervention, the genius Founders of America recognized enduring truths about human nature, the human tendency to abuse power, and the possibilities of liberty for individuals. Richard Frothingham's 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States," Page 14, contained the following footnote item on the condition of citizens of France:
"Footnote 1. M. de Champagny (Dublin Review, April, 1868) says of France, 'We were and are unable to go from Paris to Neuilly; or dine more than twenty together; or have in our portmanteau three copies of the same tract; or lend a book to a friend: or put a patch of mortar on our own house, if it stands in the street; or kill a partridge; or plant a tree near the road-side; or take coal out of our own land: or teach three or four children to read, . .. without permission from the civil government.'
Clearly the government of France laid an oppressive regulatory and tax burden on citizens, robbing them of their Creator-endowed liberty and enjoyment thereof. Frothingham observed that such coercive power constituted "a noble form robbed of its lifegiving spirit."
In 2010, our so-called "progressive" leaders who have been nurtured by the ideas of Mao, Marx, and Lenin, are attempting to take America back to the bad old days of European-style planning and control.
Too bad their Ivy League educations had not schooled them in ancient wisdom literature, in Adam Smith's understanding of the "Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations," and in the ideas of liberty which made America a place where millions of oppressed Europeans fled to find freedom and prosperity!

New refrigerators will occupy the same space in your kitchen as today but will only hold a gallon of milk and a pound of butter because the walls of the frig have to be a foot thick to meet some appointed officials arbitrary regulations.
