They bring you a hatchet job on renewable energy!
Have you ever been in a New England N’oreaster? Did you notice that they tell you to fill up your cars? Do you know why Director that they tell you that? Well Director it is because there might not be electricity to run the gas station!!!!
Do you know what else we do up here in the liberal states? We fill the bathtub with water. Why? Because when there is no electricity to run the well pumps we still have water!
You what else we do? We have camp stoves or our wood-stoves to cook on. We are prepared for power loses.
Houston Storm Shows Downside of Forced ElectrificationSo tell me Director, when we lose electricity because of a storm what do we do about pumping gas into my car? Hmm… Director?

May 28, 2024We live in a world with more and more devices that require charging, and nothing shows the downside of that better than the recent storm that hit Houston, where thousands of residents still lack power.Houstonians with electric stoves can’t cook, those with electric water heaters lack hot water—and those with electric cars can’t charge them.The range of an EV without electricity is zero. But President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation are requiring that 70% of new cars and 25% of new trucks sold in 2032 be electric. Imagine the state Houston would be in if the number of EVs on the road today met those standards.Biden’s Energy Department has issued final regulations that most stoves sold must be electric by 2028, and most water heaters must be electric by 2029. If these rules were fully phased in, Houstonians would be worse off today. These appliances are not only more expensive, they don’t work without electricity, unlike natural gas stoves and water heaters.

The latest report from the Institute of Energy Research, released earlier this month, shows that the United States has 4 quadrillion cubic feet of natural gas, enough for 130 years; 1.7 trillion barrels of oil, more than five times the reserves of Saudi Arabia, enough for 227 years; and 470 billion short tons of coal, enough for 485 years, and 50% more than Russia. These are all recoverable with current technology, and as technology advances, America’s resources will expand.Well it sure would be nice if we left some to our great, great grandchildren instead of gobbling up all the gas and oil.
The Houston crisis dramatically illustrates that not only will forced electrification lead to higher energy prices, but it will reduce economic resilience. Natural gas pipelines are buried underground, but electric transmission cables and towers are out in the open. That is why major storms lead to electricity blackouts but not natural-gas blackouts.Well my dear, you ever hear of underground utilities! It is something that we use up here in the north, I have underground utilities on my street.
Houston’s crisis is further proof that a sensible energy policy would overhaul America’s transmission and distribution systems, including burying power lines. Renewables strain the existing transmission system, leading to blackouts, as is becoming increasingly common in California. Environmental siting regulation limits the construction of new transmission lines.According to Climate Investigation Center a liberal organization…
The Heritage Foundation has received $870,000 in grants for ExxonMobil. Of that total $25,000 of grants were earmarked for climate change programs.According to DeSmog another liberal organization…
The Heritage Foundation has taken in large donations from the likes of the billionaire Koch brothers — whose business empire encompasses natural gas extraction and transportation — as well as ExxonMobil and two foundations of the late Richard Mellon Scaife, heir to the Mellon banking and oil fortune.Is there any wonder why the Heritage Foundation is pro-fossil fuels?
