| They want us to electrify everything: I refuse! |

| [WND] It's been interesting to watch the so-called "green revolution" advanced by the current administration, which is largely a push to electrify everything. Consider this NPR article that appeared in early October, innocuously titled "These 5 big purchases can save energy — and money — at home." I clicked on it because I'm always interested in frugal suggestions. I should have known better. This being NPR, their agenda is clear and their logic mediocre. The article begins: "Driving a car, making dinner, heating water and turning on the air conditioner — our everyday actions emit some of the greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. But sustainability experts say there are ways we can make these daily tasks more climate friendly. By using home appliances and vehicles that run on electricity, we can help reduce our carbon footprint and leave more fossil fuels in the ground." |

| #2 With everything electric, and on remotely controlled 'smart' meters they can easily control who (or where) gets to use power and when. |

| #1 According to the expert who wrote the above article, to accommodate these requirements the grid in 2050 will need to be more than 60% bigger than its present size, and costs (including retrofitting existing buildings) would be anywhere from $20 trillion to $35 trillion That's a new wrinkle. Doubling the national debt. Maybe we need more estimates from the people responsible for building the grid, not the green dreamers. |
