Facts. We can still have a nice shower if a hurricane knocks the power out. I’m not so sure I’m worried about this particular stunt, though. It seems like something Trump can undo 5 minutes after resuming office. That said, I am happy my gas water heater is only 6 years old.
What stupid people in cities don’t get is that so many farms, so many properties, at least in NYS, have their own gas wells. They’ve been in service for 100 years. Not this blooming idiot is gonna tell them how they can use that gas? lol I think not.
Illinois is working toward this goal! They, the university and the geological survey is wanting to control the underground water aquifer. To protect it you know. 😭
Thankfully, most of the NYS areas outside the big cities run pretty red, from what I understand. It would be great fun to see them remember who they are and what they have.
That’s what I hate about this migration. The major blue centers have become echo chambers and some beautiful cities, places I once really wanted to see, I think have little hope of making a comeback.
Having only left fifteen years ago, I can guarantee you that nys is redder than red. The five cities, buffalo, Rochester,Syracuse, Binghamton,and nyc steal all elections there, and it’s because it’s easy. Conservatives in nys are brainwashed into thinking they can’t win, so they don’t vote.20% is a huge turnout. Imagine that. And in my business, all I did was travel to every small town in the state, pretty much.
Mine is only a year old and I noticed when standing over it that I smelled gas. I called the gas company and they came out and said that it’s that particular thermostat, it just leaks gas. But it’s within standards so it’s A-ok.
It does take some acquaintance, I’ve noticed. They stopped plumbing a lot of new houses around here for gas decades ago, so I’m used to electric. But it’s worth it. I could stand to be without my gas fireplace, though. I want a way to cook and heat if I lose both electricity and gas and a wood fire is just so much more pleasing to the senses.
All these ridiculous agencies is my guess. But I’m hopeful that the Loper decision will address what DOGE doesn’t.
It is, as you note, the question to ask. But this is where we are and what we’re dealing with. Until we can scale this government back, I like the idea of legally giving them a run for their money, as Jeff suggested. There’s a YouTuber I like to follow, calls himself “HaxMan”. His motto is “be ungovernable”. In other words, let them herd cats.
The question really is: Who manufactures the heat pumps they push instead of gas heating appliances? These are the companies that stand to reap millions, if all of a sudden everyone is "nudged" into buying electric. Bet you any amount they and their lobbyists are drafting this legislation.

How does the state regulate them? In the West in some places they want to put meters on water wells on private property.
They already do that for farms, here in CA.
😳🙄🤯

I found most to be discouragingly passive during Covid, sadly 😕 It’s like they’ve been worn down. Or maybe the real firebrands have all left.

A disgusting tragedy. I can’t help but hope that the brainwashed start to see the new Trump admin as a chance to come out.

The are running new gas lines in my area. But I'm in a deep red area.
One of the many things to love about the red places. Options!
I cook in the living room all winter. It's great. I love my wood stove.
The question is how does the pres. have such power? Seems not right.

He doesn't. But Democrats don't let the rule of law or the constituion get in their way.
