A reminder that New York really sucks

Moonbattery has the latest

Natural gas is an ideal source of energy; it is efficient, plentiful, and good for the environment because it burns so cleanly. So it will come as no surprise that the leftists who run New York intend to ban it:

Gas stoves will soon become toast in New York, under a controversial new handshake deal between Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany lawmakers that would make that state the first in the US to ban natural gas.

The pending budget deal mandates all new buildings under seven stories be fully electric by 2026 with larger structures following three years later.

With a straight face, we are told this will prevent the climate from continuing to fluctuate the way it always has and always will. Specifically, Hochul says banning gas stoves will protect New York from hurricanes and excessive snow. Her estimation of her constituents’ intelligence is not high.

Statist bastards

Hey, look what else comes with that new EV!!

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 24 Second

Via Mike McDaniel

One issue state and federal legislators are considering—apart from trying to mandate EVs and do away with conventionally fueled vehicles—is mileage taxes for EVs. This is necessary, you see, because excise taxes are charged at the pump. EVs, particularly if they charge at home, can’t be similarly, or reliably, charged. Circa January, 2022, the average gas tax was 31.02 cents per gallon, with the federal rate being 18.4 cents.

AHA! They are comin for even more money because Marxists are GREEDY!

As regular readers know, “fuel” costs for EVs are not, in fact, cheaper than for conventional vehicles. Oh, but EVs have all kinds of other ways of being cheaper! Perhaps, perhaps not, but that goes out the window when a battery, which costs 1/3+ the price of a new EV—current average $66,000—must be replaced.

What those pushing for EV mileage taxes are saying very, very, quietly, or not at all, are their true intentions. Such a tax would require mandatory hardware and software to monitor mileage in real time. Such devices would also allow the government to know not only how much you were driving, but where, and certainly, with whom, also in real time. Our self-imagined elite masters surely would not stop there. There would inevitably be mileage limits. Exceed your monthly limit and your vehicle would be shut off. And for “safety” purposes, there would surely be cameras and microphones in EVs to detect any anti-climate change wrong think.

Please go read it all. And remember kids Everything the Left does is a means to an end- the end of your liberty!

YES!!!!! Finally we will all be eating Beetle Burgers!

Ah, how about NO!

Our moonbat overlords have decided that we must not eat foot because agriculture offends the climate. But they are generous rulers, who provide us with a wide variety of alternatives, including cockroach milkmaggot butterweedssynthetic pseudofoodplastic trashlentilsgrasscricketslarvaewind turbine blades — and even beetleburgers:

Beetleburgers could soon be helping to feed the world, according to new research. The creepy crawlers’ larvae — better known as mealworms — could act as a meat alternative… The process uses a fraction of the land and water and emits a smaller carbon footprint in comparison of traditional farming.

CO2 makes plants grow. Unfortunately, this precious nutrient is regarded as haram in the moonbat religion. It offends the weather gods.

And, of course, the French are behind this!

French biotech company Ynsect is planning a global network of insect farms, including nurseries and slaughterhouses.

Team Biden Finds a new way to screw Americans?

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second

But, Climate Change

Even as millions of Americans struggle to heat their homes this winter thanks to rising gas and oil prices (which are ticking back up post-Christmas, by the by), the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission – have fun finding that one in the Constitution – is opening up public comment to the supposed evils of home pollution created by gas stoves, the goal being either to slap burdensome new rules on the production of new appliances, or potentially ban them altogether.

The argument is that gas stoves, which are used in about 40 percent of all U.S. homes, put off harmful stuff like nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide (hint? Just turn on your fan). But even setting aside the fact that electric-powered appliances also put off stuff that’s not exactly great for breathing, rather than simply letting the general populace know about it and allowing them to choose for themselves what kind of stovetop they want to cook on, the government is taking it upon itself to consider banning the machines in the name of keeping people safe from their own free choices.

Even more immediately concerning is the fact that for the nearly half of all Americans who use gas ranges, any ban that grandfathers in currently existing stoves would still leave homeowners unable to buy a new gas appliance should their old one break down, forcing them to switch to an electric unit and leaving them on the hook for hundreds of dollars to pay an electrician to make the swap (and that’s on top of the cost of a new machine).

Zendo Deb

Game Company Fires Employee for Tweet that is More than 6 years Old

Limited Run Games is “committed” to an inclusive culture, UNLESS you disagree with the Woke Mob. Then they will terminate you in a heartbeat.

This is a link to the Twitter thread the captures a lot of the insanity.

American Greatness

The gleaming promise of new technology and its uses blinded us to the insidious extent imperiled elitists would go to protect their unmerited power, wealth, and status. We were naïve. Yet, even if one could have foreseen the metastasizing tyranny brought about by the digital age, it would have strained credulity to watch Americans—especially the young—not merely acquiescing to it, but embracing it.

Though we are now inured to its novelty, it bears recollecting that from the late 20th century to the present, we have lived through a worldwide communications revolution. Profoundly affecting the individual and society, the full impact of this revolution remains unclear. Humanity’s ability to choose and pursue happiness has been empowered to an extent undreamt. In the palm of one’s hand, or upon one’s laptop or desk, and with just a stroke of a key, one can instantaneously communicate with family and friends a world away, conduct business, petition the government for the redress of grievances, or bring calumny upon a major corporation. In sum, the communications revolution is an historically unprecedented technological boon for personal empowerment, growth, enrichment, and self-government.

It is this last that alarms the elitists.

American Thinker

Governor DeSantis is picking a fight with the academic left, and it’s a shrewd move.

I am thrilled that Ron DeSantis is putting in place people who want to reverse the woke academic coup d’état at one state-run institution of higher education. New College of Florida is a rarity: a public liberal arts small college (675 students) that is part of the State University System of Florida, where in-state tuition is under $7000 a year

Daniel Greenfield

The Associated Press revealed last year that it had scored $8 million to promote claims of global warming. The AP impartially described this massive conflict of interest as an illustration of “how philanthropy has swiftly become an important new funding source for journalism”.

“This far-reaching initiative will transform how we cover the climate story,” its executive editor claimed. That is no doubt true. And an incredibly damaging admission.

The philanthropic quid-pro-quo saw five organizations fund the AP’s dedicated team of “more than two dozen journalists” to cover “climate issues” that the wire service would then plant in papers around the country to terrify Americans into supporting ‘green’ taxes and subsidies.

The Associated Press did not bother to explain to its readers or the newspapers that run its stories why these organizations were impelled to throw millions at it except sheer benevolence.

Flag and Cross

A federal appeals court has ruled that a public school teacher was within his rights to wear a “Make America Great Again” hat to two faculty training sessions.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that science teacher Eric Dodge was protected by the First Amendment right to free speech with his choice of headgear.

Dodge, then a science teacher at Wy’east Middle School in Vancouver, Washington, wore the bright red “MAGA” hat — commonly associated with supporters of then-President Donald Trump — to a two-day cultural sensitivity training session in August 2019, according to The Columbian.

OH GOODY! More EPA regs

0 0
Read Time:51 Second

Can you tell I have zero faith in government agencies?

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday will announce it is finalizing new emissions standards to drastically cut smog- and soot-forming emissions from heavy-duty trucks, the first of a series of actions planned to cut vehicle pollution.

The new standards, the first update to clean air standards for heavy duty trucks in more than two decades, are 80 percent more stringent than current standards.

“It’s really important — especially for protecting the health of the 72 million people living near truck freight routes in America,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan told Reuters in an interview, adding the rule will result in an up to 48 percent reduction in smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 2045. “This is a very very aggressive approach to reduce NOx emissions.”

Allow me to predict these new regs will equal higher costs, less dependable trucks, and, as an added bonus, more supply change disruptions, and so on

Are you ready to freeze for the planet?

Read Time:53 Second

It is that or suffer the scorn of Greta Thunberg!!! How Dare You!!

If the point really were to make the climate colder, they would have no idea what they are doing — not that the climate needs to get any colder anyway, with two thirds of the country plunging into a deep freeze. Unless our rulers are literally psychotic, the actual point is to prevent us from heating our homes:

A state commission [Monday] approved plans to phase out fossil fuel-burning furnaces beginning as soon as 2025 as part of New York’s aggressive program to address climate change.

No reasonable person believes this will prevent the climate from fluctuating the way it always has and always will.

The plan adopted [Monday] by the state Climate Action Council requires energy-efficient electric heat pumps or other non-combustion heating systems in every new home built in 2025 or thereafter.

The systems cost more, of course they do, and I would not be stunned if they do not work as well, but….., well, you know,

A salute to modest and humble folks

Read Time:1 Minute, 0 Second

Rob Morse will make you think

None of us understand very much. That doesn’t mean we’re stupid, but that there is so very much to know. That perspective is critical when deciding political issues at the ballot box. You may have several masters degrees, but if you were paying attention even a little bit then you learned how little you really understand. Our universal ignorance means that grand political proposals are far more likely to fail than to succeed. We simply take too much for granted. If you doubt me then I’d like to ask you some simple questions. Tell me where your water, your electricity, and your food come from? Where are your clothes made? It is a fine answer if children say that water comes from the faucet and food comes from DoorDash. I expect better answers from adults. Knowing where life’s essentials come from are some of the simplest questions that describe your life. I didn’t ask you where people all over the world meet their needs. Not yet. At first I only asked about you. Let me show you a few arguments for modesty and humility.

Go read it all………

The goal is not EV’S for all drivers……

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 38 Second

The goal is less people with a vehicle! Part of what I am going to start calling ATFA(Anything to FUCK America) Pirates Cove breaks the news.

We told you this would happen, namely that, after passing the IRA which requires all sorts of green production from American sources, that Democrats would never allow mining of the necessary minerals and metals on American soil

Remember ATFA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended prohibiting the operators of Southwestern Alaska’s Pebble Mine from disposing of waste material in the nearby Bristol Bay, a regulation that would prevent the mine from opening. However, the mine could generate billions in revenue by producing minerals that are crucial in supporting the Biden administration’s “clean energy transition.”

The EPA said Pebble Mine’s potential waste discharges would threaten nearby sockeye salmon fisheries by polluting the water and preventing the fish from spawning and reproducing, according to an agency proposal released Thursday. Despite this, the mine would extract about 1.5 billion tons of copper, molybdenum as well as other critical minerals and could deliver more than $8 billion to Southwestern Alaska, according to a report published by Northern Dynasty Minerals, the mine’s owner.

“This isn’t just about Pebble … the precedent this is setting is frightening and will be used going forward by those wanting to stop projects and will send an absolutely chilling message to the investment world about opportunities in the U.S.,” Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Jason Brune told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

YEPPERS! All part of the plan- the ATFA plan! Here it is, here is the end game

BINGO! BULLSEYE! YAHTZEE!
