Not a bad statement from someone from Vermont, where people heat with natural gas , electic (five times the price of gas), propane (fossil),or wood (carbon) !
But the EPA has already declared war on wood stoves because of air polution and carbon
Vermont has "0" nuclear power plants.
So , Cicero , as Hannibal once did, to prevent getting cold , you might have to go buy an elephant so that you can hug it to stay warm .
Just don't go to neighboring states to buy food / fuel for your elephant(!), and all the "Greenies" will have already turned into human popsicles,
and there goes your voting base ( unless you allow the dead to vote !, ...again ).
Vermonters are odd. Killing that nuclear power plant was insane. But they aren’t about to give up their wood stoves, carbon or not. You can see smoke streaming out of every chimney, ours included.
And Vermonters aren’t about to give up their guns, either.
There used to be two conservatives in our small town a few years ago, but one of them died. So I’m the only one left.
Still, they are sensible in some respects. We chainsaw and split up our firewood for the wood stove, and burn as little fuel oil as possible.
