Punishment of western civilization seems to be the goal. Something the leftists have in common with the jihadists.

Yup — they just hate civilization. It’s as simple as that.

All we have to do is to FORCE the DC slime molds that make these laws be the first to comply with them. Having lived in northern VA during the summer, these little wimpy turds will be the first to give up.

And by force them, we must mean it. Make them suffer, cry, and may we hear the lamentations of their pink-haired women (both men-women and female women.

There would be one benefit if we got rid of AC and that would be a lot of manufacturing moving back to the temperate zones rather than around the equator.

Adam Smith never imagined that one day anything could be made anywhere and manufacturing would gravitate to the swampiest parts of the World.

They do not hate civilization—they just want to control it and all their subjects. Its about putting in place the ancient form of rule—a system that dates back to the pyramids. A few people with all the money and power, and the rest struggling to stay alive and enjoy a few good times in their short hard lives. The powerful will toss a few goodies to the masses to keep them happy—festivals, free food and drink, Colorful religious events in equally colorful temples, be it in Thebes, Egypt, Rome or Paris.

according to a former neighbor that was a legal immigrant from barbados, the white man is to be punished for the atrocities and oppression that was committed against the native american indians and the black man during the founding of the united states of america... she was an obama supporter...

They are misanthropes. That’s their motivation. GCC is just a vehicle for these psychos to justify their murderous policies.

Collective punishment can be a two way street. You should have asked your former neighbor what the worst thing anyone from Barbados has committed. And why should she be spared from the consequences. New “groups” can always be formed and new collective punishment imposed, at a whim, under this kind of a system.

Any day now, the eco-terrorists/Big Gov/Deep State are going to declare that those amazing automobile backup cameras that make parallel parking so much easier and safer are causing Climate Crisis, and are simply not equitable. Not everyone has one, especially those using public transportation that they insist we use. Only when everyone is equally destitute will Nirvana be accomplished.

They are not at war with modern conveniences.

They are at war with humanity and seek to make life as unpleasant for humans as possible.

Leftists loathe humanity. It’s why they love abortion, love war, love silly environmental laws, love Islam, love gays, love euthanasia, and loathe success. Their goal is to end that which they hate the most, which is themselves and the rest of humanity.

It’s a war on civilization.

Eco-freaks, muslims, and commies all have the same bleak vision of Utopia.

Electric water heaters are outrageous now. Because now they are heat pump water heaters making them more costly and more prone to breakdown and failure.

But I bet they’ll never allow You to see the houses they live in or the appliances that they have!

Because they all think they are Elite Communists when they are actually Street Scum Communists. They will learn their place way too late, after they loose everything, too.

My 380W heat pump water heater helps cool my home during the warm months.

1) The air intake of my water heater has a duct I installed to draw air in from the attic above it into the water heater's air intake vent. By taking in warm air from the attic, the water heater doesn't have to run as long to find enough heat to warm the water tank. Might as well utilize the free heat in the attic to get some use out of it.

2) I added another duct to the water heater: on the air output vent. I flip a wye lever twice per year: during the warm 7 or 8 months of the year I use that free cold air from the water heater to help cool the house by making it go into an air receiver for my HVAC. Might as well use the free cold air from the water heater. This makes the water heater work in concert with my HVAC (a variable-speed heat pump) so that the two appliances are not only efficient as stand alone appliances, but together they work better than the sum of their parts. When the cool months begin I flip the wye lever to duct the cold air from the water heater away from my living quarters into the attic.

The way I see it, the less energy I need to have the same creature comforts, then the less the Dims' warmageddon cult energy policies drain my wallet with their sky high energy prices.
