We’ve all seen the comments of the QAnon-style conspiracy theorists like the fellow at the left. Are there powerful and rich people, perhaps Bill Gates among them, who are trying to enslave us?
Here are the remarks of a reader who doesn’t think so:
Ummm. “They” have to extract, refine, transport, and then sell you gas. It can be “Turned off” just as easily as electricity. It’s not something anyone makes themselves. And actually, if you have solar panels or other simply generators like a water wheel or windmill, you can make electricity at home without anyone’s help. You will never be able to do that with petrochemicals.
I think it’s far more likely that “they want you to go electric” because it will better enable the decarbonization of the energy and transportation sectors.
Fans of our top comedians will love this video, a fictional reenactment of George Washington’s addressing an open meeting of citizens in the newly formed United States, concerning potential frailties of the soon-to-be-ratified Constitution.

If it weren’t for the existence of social democracies all over the world, the clown in this one-minute-long video might be somewhat credible.
Good thing for him that he’s talking to people most of whom couldn’t find Scandinavia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Iceland, etc. on a map.
Better yet, his followers don’t know that the people living in these counties are the happiest human beings on the planet.
Truth used to matter.
