These oligarchs don’t like the peasantry heating their homes with oil/gas, or....running generators with natural gas, when the power goes out.

Ask these people where they think electricity comes from. They are going to say solar or wind, but those sources are no where near what is needed to cover all needs. So then the question becomes, why are these people setting their cities and states up for rolling blackouts like what the third-world country of California experiences on a yearly basis now.

"NG is literally one of the cleanest forms of energy in existence."

Thanks for mentioning that. The left is demonizing NG to manufacture a crisis to win more control over people imo.

You don’t have to wonder. They think people are parasites of the earth.

They are trying to ruin the economy so that they can say that capitalism has failed and impose socialism. It’s the old leftist game of creating a problem and blaming it on your opponents. If the country were all the electric, they would undermine electricity.

Un freaking believable.

Natural gas is one of the cleanest sources of energy around.

Some people just need (deeply, psychologically, viscerally) to complain “don’t do X!” to others.
There is no condition whereby they will say, “oh, ok, everything’s fine.”
Every molehill is a mountain to them.
They word-think everything into hobgoblins.
And yes, you being their designated opponent, your demise is acceptable to them because you are “literally Hitler”.

I’m wondering how long until they deride electric pickup trucks as “destroying the planet” because they use 50% more electricity than other EVs.

"Sometimes I wonder if these MFers are trying to kill us."

Bingo. The DemonRat Deep State ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE in their states, RELEASING murderers from prison while IMPORTING MORE OF THEM.

There can be only ONE REASON for this.

So, how do they propose heating their homes? Heat pumps only work in moderate climates. Resistive electric heaters are terribly inefficient. And they don’t want clean nuclear energy to produce the electricity.

Major cities including San Francisco, Seattle, Denver and New York have either enacted or proposed measures to ban or discourage the use of the fossil fuel in new homes and buildings, two years after Berkeley, Calif., passed the first such prohibition in the U.S. in 2019.

The bans in turn have led Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kansas and Louisiana to enact laws outlawing such municipal prohibitions in their states before they can spread, arguing that they are overly restrictive and costly. Ohio is considering a similar measure.
Food's next. You don't need or deserve food. Inexpensive, plentiful food is just cisgendered colonialist white supremacy.

They’re living on a fantasy. If they’re so worried about our energy use being excessive, just extend the state sales taxes to energy bills, regardless of the source, while providing a bit of relief with some other tax (income, property, liquor, whatever). Conservation achieved!

Global Warming PING!

They are. They’re screaming it into our faces.

I am utterly incompetent in the kitchen but even I know gas is the way to cook. Every time I buy a property I check on the hookups and when I have tried to get gas where none has been, the gas company never gives me a straight answer on the costs involved. They start by telling me how economical it is but the longer they talk the worse it gets. It can be free if you buy enough appliances in a certain amount of time (washer, dryer, range, the works) but if you only want to heat the house with gas, you have to pay, and if you cant find a contractor to their liking, who’s also reasonable, in the time they give you, they’ll send you a bill for several thousand dollars. Every time, I decide not to do business with them.
Now you tell me gas is going to be discouraged. That means the price will go up when the company starts getting those disincentives from the gubmint.

That’s all they do. Twist the truth to create false narratives. Pass it along to the weaponized arm of their conglomeration (aka the media), and feed it to the masses. The masses have been so dumbed down by our educational system that they have no knowledge of the freedoms they have been losing, nor do they have the ability to think critically. They’re controlled by shackles and chains they don’t even realize they’re wearing. Worse, they vote to have them tightened.

It’s dire.

They are not trying to kill us but want you to pay 4 times what you pay now for utilities. It’s all about the money.

Most of you will spend more hours serving your masters (via taxation) than the slaves of the antebellum South did serving their masters.
