Good day all. A couple of months ago. The most incompetent administration in American History decided that banning gas stoves was a great idea. The push back from everyone who uses them has been massive. Of course, progressives never listen to anyone who disagrees with them and several states are looking to ban them on their own.
Now the next shoe has dropped. Their next target appears to be air conditioning. Yes, on those steaming, hot, humid days, the Progressive Plutocrats in their air conditioned comfort have decided that you need to suffer. Here are the details from Fox News:
The Biden administration announced its latest home appliance regulations this week, targeting air conditioners in an action it said would reduce the nation’s carbon emissions.
The regulations, unveiled Thursday by the Department of Energy (DOE), finalize energy efficiency standards for home air conditioning units, or window air conditioners, and portable air cleaners. The DOE said the move would cut air pollution and push consumer costs down by billions of dollars via energy savings.
“Today’s announcement builds on the historic actions President Biden took last year to strengthen outdated energy efficiency standards, which will help save on people’s energy bills and reduce our nation’s carbon footprint,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.
“DOE will continue to engage with our public and private sector partners to finalize additional proposals like today’s that lower household energy costs and deliver the safer, healthier communities that every American deserves,” she continued.
Granholm is the former govno of Michigan. She was the prototype for the current Govno, Wretched Gretchen Whitmer. She’s also Canadian. (They exiled her to the United States and she became a citizen) She is basically a communist.
According to the DOE, the new energy efficiency standards will save Americans about $1.5 billion annually and curb carbon dioxide emissions by 106 million metric tons over three decades. The agency added that the regulations were part of President Biden’s efforts to promote innovation and lower costs for families “while tackling the climate crisis.”
There is no “Climate crises.” There is a Progressive Liberal Democrat crises. As to saving American’s money?
When has anything the Democrats said would save money not cost us ten times or more money? As to the CO2 nonsense? Currently, atmospheric CO2 levels are very low in the geological scheme of things. CO2 levels were a lot higher when the dinosaurs roamed the earth and there was plenty of plants and animal life. It was also significantly hotter then it is today. But then I’m actually reading scientific journals, not sitting there barking at the moon about “The Science!” like it was a religion.
The rules for air cleaners are scheduled to be implemented in 2024 and the rules for room air conditioners are slated for 2026.
Hopefully this can be stopped when the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, (Or his designated successor), takes office in 2025. In fact, I think the entire Department of Energy needs to be shut down and everyone fired.
Over the last several months, meanwhile, the DOE has introduced a series of energy efficiency regulations impacting various home appliances including gas stoves, ovens, clothes washers and refrigerators. Critics have blasted the rules as federal overreach and unnecessary given that the industry has improved technology without government intervention.
This is something the fools, morons, idiots, bureaucrats and Liberal Democrats, (But I’m repeating myself), flat out do not understand. People are looking for better, more efficient systems and the market is responding. They are just doing it in a way that displeases the central planners like Granholm and the rest of the Progressive Totalitarian Left.
“What these mandates, what these standards do is enforce a level of efficiency that doesn’t make sense,” Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview last week. “And they compromise product quality. We’ve already seen this to an extent with cost of clothes washer standards.”
And low flow toilets, shower heads, etc. Anything the Progressive Liberal Democrats touch, they wreck, ruin and destroy.
“That’s another problem — this is a regulatory program that’s very long in the tooth and you’re getting to the point where clothes washers — this might be the fifth time they’ve been regulated,” he continued. “So we’re really chasing after diminishing or nonexistent marginal returns.”
The Progressives won’t be happy until people are going down to the river and beating their clothes against the rocks. Of course, they will ban that as well.
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), the leading U.S. trade group representing appliance makers and suppliers, has warned that the actions would particularly harm low-income households and decrease overall product quality.
Jill Notini, a spokesperson for AHAM, recently told Fox News Digital that, taking into account the higher costs of appliances, the estimated savings from the energy efficiency rules “don’t add up right now during this time of high inflation.” However, she said Friday that the group supports the air cleaner rule announced this week, but remained concerned about other actions.
“Our industry puts innovative and energy efficient appliances into every home,” Notini told Fox News Digital. “We worked to advance the air cleaner rule within DOE, but we remain concerned that DOE is going too far on other products without any real savings to consumers, at a time when people are looking for relief.”
Tsk, tsk tsk. When will you people learn that if you give in on one thing, the regulatory agencies will order you to surrender on all the other items? The simple fact of the matter is that the people in these regulatory agencies are “True Believers” and, for all intents and purposes, religious fanatics. As far as they’re concerned, they are right and everyone else is wrong, and to go against the All Mighty Liberal Progressive Government is heresy and treason.
There is only one way to stop these out of control agencies, and that is to tell them to their faces you will not comply and then dare them to try something. You will need to have everyone in the industry with you and you need to be willing to back it up. They send in federal agents, then you will need to have your own “Security” willing to confront them. (See Bundy Ranch)
Meanwhile, you need to stop paying bribes sending campaign contributions to the Democrat Party. They will happily take your money, then stab you in the back and take everything else, and they will smile when they do it. Personally, I don’t think the GOP(e) side of the Beltway Uniparty is much better, but there are a number of new people coming in and pulling away from the old Country Club Globalist Republicans. They are the ones you need to support. This nonsense needs to end now!
