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.
How often does this happen? How about never?
Trump loves to say that little boys go to school and come back home little girls.
He’s the most powerful person in the world for exactly one reason: We’re a nation of morons.
Two comments:
That the United States has homeless veterans is a national (and international) disgrace.
By definition, no one has the legal right to enter the U.S. illegally, but according to our constitution, everyone in America is entitled to due process.
This will result in lung disease, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and higher electricity prices.
It will also further alienate the rest of the world from our country, as every other nation on the planet is making gains in the direction of decarbonization, and no other nation suffers from this level of corruption with the fossil fuel industry.
If that pleases you, you’re a warped human being.
