“...bureaucrats and politicians are coming for your stoves.”
Think about this the next time you hear someone here (maybe an Operative) saying that there is ‘no difference between the parties’ - this crap is NOT happening in Red States, only BLUE STATES.
And this electricity will come from where?
No A/C and keep an eye on your ceiling fan comrades
I have been shopping for a replacement. It's abysmal. I'm thinking of going into the hood and buying a restaurant stove from a junk guy. I can de-roach it outside before I bring it in.
Even the new electric ones have a safety interlock button for every burner unit on the stove top. They won't heat or light without the weight of a pan or pot on the burner. Forget sautéing your food. It will shut off every time you lift the pan.

Yep. But here’s the thing. The Constitution is very clear. Only Congress - a body elected by the people - is permitted to make the rules. The executive branch can only carry out those rules. The executive branch cannot make the rules.
Unfortunately, Congress has allowed their power to slip away. As you noted, unelected bureaucrats now make policy. Congress does not push back.
I guess they’re too busy trying to make their wealthy donors happy.
All this environmental stuff is starting to cross racial, cultural and economic lines. Where are the republicans who should be leveraging this to their benefit?
Gas stoves can also keep you from freezing when the electricity goes out…
They have promised to take everything... but we’ll be happy.

Northeastern politicians should be aware of this:

“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)
low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
The Republicans had two years in DC (2017,2018) to clean up the US Code so the US people would not get stomped on.
Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
― C.S. Lewis
