Rold you, folks - Gang Green wants you freezing and starving in the dark. Mostly, they want you dead.
On the Howie Carr show today, there was some source of info that indicated electric rates of some NE utilities were going to double before the end of the year.
Have a nice day....
The gov’t. needs to stay out of things they don’t understand. They don’t seem to have a care about what it takes to increase efficiency...in anything. Problems we have with manufactured products can likely be traced back to gov’t. “foresight” somewhere in the process. Such is NOT the role of gov’t. One of the areas where this is really very evident is in the manufacture of our vehicles. That is a big area where gov’t. interference is not needed & they should just butt out.
This is the same type of government action that gave us washing machines and dishwashers that don’t clean, light bulbs requiring toxic waste disposal, toilets requiring three flushes, shower heads and faucets, that trickle, automobiles that shut off their engines at stoplights, and medicine bottles the elderly cannot open.
Now we will have furnaces that cost more and don’t heat. Plus the life span of the new products will be half the life span of the old products. Within a few years there won’t be parts available for the old products so people will be forced to buy the new ones.
Most of my appliances, as well as HVAC equipment, are at least 20 years old. I carefully maintain and repair them or pay to have them repaired. Parts are now almost impossible to get for some of them. A repair man recently told me to keep them going as long as I can because most new ones won’t last 10 years. Sad because I like clean clothes and dishes.
One thing we can be sure of. If the GOP wins both houses of Congress, no time will be spent repealing the insane laws and regulations or defunding the bureaucracies making these rules. If any voters bother to ask, they’ll be told it isn’t worth the effort because Biden will veto the bill. Hence the reason the country is going down the tubes. If you never fight back you will always lose.
A lot of those “energy efficient” appliances aren’t. I forget exactly, but something to do with the watts/hour that they use.
So to get the numbers down, they use a weaker motor (say your washing machine) and run the wash for longer. Less watts/more time gives it a “good” number. I guess the manufacturers don’t mind the rules as the stuff wears out quicker and you have to buy another one sooner.
Producing too much carbon dioxide now he wants to kill of the trees and plants.
The end game for digital thermostats is coming into view.
