Idiots. Nat gas beats electricity for heating hands down for 1/5th the price.
But reidential wood and coal boilers are making a comeback across America.
Dang - the CaliClowns have totally taken over Colorado!
Lower cost and higher efficiency (no line losses, no conversion losses).
We know these people are idiots but we just don’t know their limits.
The article reads like “let them eat cake”.
Sickening but really more frightening than that.
All the homes I had in Colorado used natural gas heating.
Liberals are morons.
Hopefully, people aren't so naive as to think they won't be affected.
Breathtaking lies, right in your face.
The Colorado Sun is working on a series of articles explaining to Jewish folks why concentration camps are really a good thing.
Lol.
Let Dems run energy policy and the ultimate result will be freezing in the dark.
“Some groups — not just environmental advocates, but businesses as well — question whether utilities are overstating electric demand, and whether they’ve properly managed the power plants they’ve already got.”
Translation: Consumers are expected to use less energy, suck it up and freeze.
The government and the utilities want to minimize the truth that they built an infrastructure that's come of age and there's no money to maintain it.
They can't dig it all up the gas lines and replace them so instead they're pushing for the switch to electric.
Good luck with that heat pump when it’s -15 deg outside.
Translation, we're going to make the evil utilities pay so much for the privilege of selling you gas, that they will either go out of business, or raise the price of gas beyond the average homeowner's ability to pay. Meanwhile we'll use unicorn farts to meet the increased electrical demand.
So every time the electricity goes out people will lose heat in their house? I have both plus a fire place. And I can tell you the fireplace does not heat more than a room. Natural gas never goes down. I don’t remember once losing my gas in 64 years. But we lose our electricity about once or twice a year. If one of those is a snow storm it will mean a lot of people are in a world of hurt.
Natural gas is extreme clean burning. It is extremely abundant. If we don’t use it we will just flare it. Which means we will burn it anyway. The world makes natural gas every year when leaves fall off trees or grass turns brown. When cows poop, or if they eat or simply die. Natural gas is either burned or released in this world every day in every part of the world that life exists. Colorado is doing nothing but theater here. Most of the world would die to have the natural gas infrastructure that Denver has. People are nuts.
Those outdoor hot tubs and gas grilles will be available cheap for outside buyers.
Elect Democrats, destroy America.
Anything California does...........
Ah, California East.
How do places with a not inconsequential military presence get like this?
You don't say...
In California we experience rolling blackouts when the electrical grid is overloaded - I get messages during peak time (over 100 degrees) to NOT plug in EVs or run major appliances.
"Massive San Francisco power outage (Saturday) darkened entire neighborhoods for hours"
(yes, the power company says it's from a "fire")...
As of two hours ago...
"Power nearly restored in San Francisco after widespread outage Saturday"
