It has apparently escaped the notice of the Leftists who inhabit this venue that the Biden Administration and its minions are seeking to replace appliances that generate energy with natural gas and other carbon-based fuels with appliances that generate energy with electricity.
At present it is just seemingly random potshots at individual appliances...no more gas-powered lawnmowers or other yard equipment, no more natural gas stoves, hot water heaters, and soon, home furnaces. Soon it will be everything.
There are a couple things wrong with this campaign. It increases costs for working-class people, for one (but Leftists couldn't care less about those unfortunates). It presumes that electricity will presently be generated solely with renewables or unicorn farts (God forbid we see an "explosion" of nuclear power generation), but this will not happen within the lifetime of anyone currently alive. Finally, it presumes that with more than half the world's population SHIFTING TO COAL, GASOLINE, and NATURAL GAS to cook their food, propel their vehicles, power their machines, heat their homes, and generate electricity for their iPhones and such, our cutting back will have more impact than passing gas in a tornado. It won't.
To be completely realistic, coal is the most abundant, cheapest, and most secure source of BTU's on the planet, and the third world (including India, rural China, Africa, and half of South America) WILL USE IT ABUNDANTLY as they seek a path to modernity. And who has any right to say they should not do that?
