Makes no difference.
The fedgov is going to subsidize electric and penalize carbon to the extent that is will be uneconomical to have a gasoline car or natural gas house.
I dread having to put in a heat pump...blows cold air all winter.
It’s worse than that: They have the support of people who dismiss facts in favor of an emotional reaction.
Example: My wife’s been on a genealogy binge of-late and recently had her DNA tested with some website.
She was excited at getting the results and wanted to share, so I became privy to the details. She was browsing the list of categories that the results ‘predicted’ about her traits. She made some comment of amazement at the results’ accuracy, rationalizing certain categories to fit her personality and other traits.
But I remarked, “It’s a software application.” She asked, “What do you mean?” The answer I didn’t give to her:
It’s no different than social media, and identical to all the other liberal bullet points which provide that emotional response. She’s not stupid, but she’s overwhelmingly wrapped up in emotion over facts.
Just like electric cars do for those people (and some here, apparently).
And those same people will be griping about prices long before the fantasy of ‘saving the planet’ is realized. Hypocrisy is a warm blanket indeed (infested with fleas).
By 2035, you wont be able to find gas for your beat up Ford F-150 truck. My suggestion is that you’ll have to convert it to propane. It’ll still be legal to buy propane because we can use that for the grill.
