Idiots. Nat gas beats electricity for heating hands down for 1/5th the price.

Colorado has jumped the shark.

But reidential wood and coal boilers are making a comeback across America.

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.

They task the big utilities delivering natural gas to homes in pipelines with the mandate to hit the targets.

Hopefully, people aren't so naive as to think they won't be affected.

though clean energy advocates still encourage those homeowners to seek rebates and other help in converting to more efficient electrical appliances that will be cheaper to operate.

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 โ€” not just environmental advocates, but businesses as well โ€” question whether utilities are overstating electric demand, and whether theyโ€™ve properly managed the power plants theyโ€™ve already got.”

Translation: Consumers are expected to use less energy, suck it up and freeze.

From the article: ...limit harmful methane leaks...

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 itโ€™s -15 deg outside.

continued.

Q. Is it true all Jewish people will be sent to the concentration camps?

A. Well, urban Jews will have to go first. It will take a long time to round up all the Jews. If you live in the rural areas you will not have to go until 2050.

Q. Will the storm troopers knock down my door in the middle of the night?

A. In most cases that will not happen. They will politely ask you to join them. As long as you obey orders everything will go smoothly.

etc etc etc.

We have 2 woodstoves. We usually only use 1 except on very cold and windy days. We’re fortunate enough to have a good supply, I can cut dead or fallen trees right across the street on about 40 acres of woods, a friend of mine owns the property. We save thousands of dollars in heating from October through March and early April, 6 - 7 months. Nothing like coming in from the cold and warming your bones by the stove, I put my boots and gloves near it before going outside. 3 kettles of water provide humidification. Ceiling fans move the heat so the whole house gets heated. Been heating with wood for 42 years.

A: The new rules are not aimed at homeowners. They are requirements for the utilities. The utilities will be the ones planning internal changes and consumer and business incentives to both limit harmful methane leaks and convince people to switch to electric appliances. ..., no one is showing up at your door to rip out a gas water heater against your will.

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.
