But only for public spaces

 

Next up, adjust residential building construction codes to require "Smart" thermostats.

Followed up by subsidies on "Smart" thermostats to entice owners of existing homes to buy one

Followed up by adding regulations on electrical and natural gas service providers to require customer usage of "Smart" thermostats in their terms of service

Followed up by adding regulations that allow Governmental Regulatory agencies the ability to adjust anyone thermostat as they deem fit

 

 

Sorry to LAMP bump one of my previous posts, but I was reminded of the highlighted line above this morning

 

Gas company sent an email offering $50 rebates on select Smart Thermostats...

If the electricity costs are anything like in Italy, they generally don’t keep heating very high in the winter historically.

 

When I went in February 2016, I stayed with family and I definitely missed the comfort even though it was much colder outside.

An overabundance of cow farts, obviously. Why do you deny the science, man? There's a consensus! That means it's settled!

electric cars just re-power automatically by driving around

California is preparing to make its dire energy problems much, much worse (msn.com)

 

California regulators are about to vote to restrict the sale of gas-powered cars and ban the sale of them altogether after 2035. The state had already announced this plan in 2020 as part of its fanatic commitment to wind and solar energy. Everyone in California will be forced to buy electric cars, no matter how much more expensive they are than the ones that already get them from place to place.

 

How about the fact that California can’t meet its current energy demands? Over the last several years, the state has repeatedly failed to meet energy demands during heat waves, leading to rolling blackouts. That is before transitioning roughly 16 million drivers from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles. Where all that new energy is going to come from is anyone’s guess.

to keep our jobs, we WILL named a storm in August

ebven of we have to lower the wind speed for a hurricane to 20mph

 

Scattered Storms and FOUR tropical disturbances! (msn.com)

 

Tropical possibilities are picking up with four disturbances being tracked by the Hurricane Center. The most interesting disturbance is in the Atlantic with only a 20% chance of developing in 48 hours,

 

It’s been 25 years since we had an August with no named storms in the Atlantic basin, with 1997 being the last time.

If we haven't had one in 25 years, doesn't that mean we might be overdue?

Gov. Glenn Youngkin vows to stop 'ridiculous' state ban on gas vehicles (msn.com)

 

Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is working to dismantle Virginia's push toward electric vehicles, calling the move "ridiculous" in a Sunday statement.

 

"In an effort to turn Virginia into California, liberal politicians who previously ran our government sold Virginia out by subjecting Virginia drivers to California vehicle laws," Youngkin wrote in a statement on Twitter. "Now, under that pact, Virginians will be forced to adopt the California law that prohibits the sale of gas and diesel-fueled vehicles."

 

Virginia's former governor, Democrat Ralph Northam, signed legislation in 2021 tying the state's emissions policies to The California Air Resources Board. The board has imposed a regimen to eliminate the sale of gas and diesel vehicles by 2035, forcing Virginia to do the same thanks to the 2021 law.

Mother Nature letting down the climate change narrative

 

A storm by any name: Sleepy hurricane season may wake up in September (msn.com)

 

 

“You don’t want people to let their guard down. Just because we haven’t had any storms yet doesn’t mean we won’t,’’ Pydynowski said. “And it’s not necessarily the number of storms that counts. It’s, does the storm hit the U.S., and if it does, what is the intensity when it does so.’’

Anyone still think the cost to charge your EV is going to be cheaper than a tank of gas could be?
