Yesterday, we learned how the crazy and obtuse Biden Administration wants to get rid of gas stoves in your home. Buried in the massive spending bill the Democrats and recalcitrant Senate Republicans passed to “fight inflation” was an $840 tax credit to switch from a gas stove to an electric stove.
Personally, after just having rehabbed my house and switching from a gas to an induction range, I want my tax credit. I love induction for me. I hate electric cooktops, they stink if you want to actually cook. Natural gas is efficient and great. LNG isn’t the global warming disaster the cult makes it out to be. Gosh, they just aren’t that smart are they?
But, I don’t understand why the cult of global warming is so penal. Whenever there is some action, problem, or issue, they want to ban it or tax it. Worse, they go off and do precisely the thing they want to ban themselves. Ask AOC how she likes cooking with gas. By the way, no one ever exclaims, “Now we are cooking with electric.”
Another thing they will do is fight innovation tooth and nail at home but if it’s outsourced, it’s somehow okay. The cult of global warming loves to drive in their EVs and hybrids. But, when it comes time for the dirty work of mining the elements it takes to make a battery, we can’t do it in the United States.
Nope, Indonesia. Let those brown poor people deal with the environmental damage. I am wondering if a gas stove is worse for your health or global warming, or a factory belching smoke?
