They are forcing everything to be electric, when natural gas is the cleanest and cheapest.

These are evil deluded people who care nothing about facts.

Oh, this has nothing to do with delusion. Evil, yes. Delusionism, no. It's all about central planning with the prime objective being the controlling of the population. This is about totalitarianism being the ultimate goal, plain and simple.

The Dims used to say that too. That was Obama's mantra when his EPA forced a lot of utilities to shut down coal plants and replace them with power produced by "clean burning natural gas". That's what happened in my state (Alabama).

Then they changed their tune and started hating on natural gas as soon as Trump was in the WH. And later in Brandon's first week he issued multiple EO's making it harder to drill for natural gas. Which jacked up the price of natural gas and punished for using more natural gas, even though Obama's the one that forced us to.

Bull crap like that is why in 2021 I began the research and implementation of decentralized solar. Solar per se isn't better than coal or natural gas or gasoline. But solar is something I can do on my own to reduce how much energy I have to by on the over-regulated energy market. The word "decentralized" is what makes it very attractive to me.

But even so you still have to do your own homework to make sure it's practical (i.e. pay you back by saving you more than it costs you) based on your climate, your power consumption habits (i.e. are you home running appliances during the day or usually at night), and the real cost per kWh is added/removed to/from your power bill when you change how much power you pull from the meter.

For my area that comes down to 15 to 16 cents per kWh (after the fuel rate rider and state tax is added per kWh, but not including the flat monthly fees you pay no matter how much power you pull from the grid). The same is true if you don't want to go solar but are thinking about spending money to make your home more energy efficient like adding insulation or replacing a regular A/C unit with a variable speed heat pump (I did a bunch of stuff like that too).

And then they’re shutting down all the “base load” power plants.
