Democrats and far-left green groups have set their sights on regulating a wide range of popular household appliances in a bid to push their broader electrification and climate agenda. The push to regulate everyday appliances — including water heaters, furnaces, clothes washers, dishwashers, ceiling fans, microwave ovens and shower heads — comes as the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers continue to set lofty net-zero and climate goals for weaning off fossil fuel dependence. Environmentalists have argued that electrification, banning natural gas hookups and implementing strict energy efficiency standards could help accelerate emissions reductions. "There's bad news for almost every room in the

They need to control us, controlling the source of power is one aspect of their plan. Electricity can be turned off
much easier than gas.

When every device we use in our homes from heating, cooking, lighting to charging our vehicle is based on electricity and we all have "smart meters" that monitor and control our use of electricity we best think twice about opposing anything the government in its wisdom institutes or proposes, Power failures may become more frequent for more homes.
If you get my drift.

These bozos have already rendered many appliances pretty much useless. The quality of newer products, such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, ovens, etc,...is abysmal, some of which is attributable to idiotic regulations that have been slowly foisted on manufacturers in the name of saving the planet. So we the consumers are treated to buying brand new junk every few years, if that. Just about 20-30 years ago most of these products were still pretty decent. Forget about it now.

What I hate most about DemoRATS is that they always think they know better.

Let me see if I have this right - we have to get off of fossil fuels to save the planet which means anything requiring power has to use electricity which can't be generated by fossil fuels. Since our "savior's" can't figure out how to generate enough "clean" electricity the appliances we use must be regulated to the point that they are ineffective. At the same time we are all suppose to buy electric cars for which there is also not enough electricity (let alone tires - don't get me started on everything we use that is made from hydrocarbons, it is known as organic chemistry). Sounds like they don't know or care that the greatest reduction in CO2 levels in the US have occurred due to the use of US natural gas in place of coal. Now how in the world are these geniuses going to produce even 10% of the electricity required to allow for a standard of living above that of a cavemen without fossil fuels or nuclear power? I

The dems seem to be waging imaginative battles against America based on flawed science and bizarre fantasies. There's no proof for their endless, baseless political overreaches into every area of life.

For those of you who did not see the (very lightly distributed) news article, the 'Rats have already passed a law outlawing hydroflourocarbons -that is, all the refrigerants (the working fluid in all the refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners) currently in use. Not outlawed right away, but supposedly 'gradually' over the next 10 years or so. The difficulty is, of course, that no practical substitute has been discovered or invented so far.
Yep, our Tax Dollars at work.
Again.

I have an idea! Every time a third won’t flush as expected, bag it and mail it to the EPA! Let’s give them back some of the stuff they’ve been feeding us for decades!

Ha! I can't wait to send this Article on to the Young Democrat's in my Family. The College educated, Rabid Dems! They LOVE their Dishwasher, washer and Dryer, microwave and Gas Heat and Stoves! Maybe they didn't know they are destined to wash their Clothes on Rocks like women did back, WAY Back, in the day! Yep. It's for the Environment and THEY should be willing to do that hard work to make it happen. WORK! Oh my, did I say WORK! They might take a second look at what THEIR Party is expecting them to do! They certainly don't want to have to give up their easy, peasy lifestyle! It won't affect me, I will be dead and gone before it is in place, when they are wondering what in the world hit them!

Can't they set a more noble goal? Like fixing something that actually needs fixing and will make life easier.

Greenies actually are responsible for more environmental damage than any other group of people on the planet. Mercury in curly light bulbs anyone? How about the reusable grocery bags that they forced on the public? Remember the study done in Cali by a group wanting to know about how germy those things were? Turns out those bags the greenies pushed were so filthy that at least 70% of them could cause massive food poisoning among other things.
Greenies are the most mentally illiterate people on the planet. Too much time on their hands. Like the old saying says, idle hands are the devil's workshop. That is the greenie movement in a nutshell.

Well we start by removing ALL appliances from anyone pushing this crapola.
See how they get along with No Fridge, Stove or AC! Then to be complete we confiscate their CARS and HOMES, as those are obviously Racist!
