Jennifer….Start your ban in Colorado – Aspen first, then the other wealthy mountain areas, then do Boulder and Denver and so forth. Out to California. Make sure to start with the wealthy. How about The French Laundry. I want to hear the rich rant at losing their prize kitchens as they voted for this madness, Let their favorite restaurants use electricity. Cook their steaks and heat their woks on electricity.Thanks for ruining out lives.
So, it’s only the high capacity burners that will be banned. Where have I heard this before? Next they will come for the pilot light on our gas hot water heaters.
I will give you a hint. It may have something to do with the weight of the grate….
Good thing there is nothing going on in the world so that we can focus on these important issues.
While we are at it, more deep thoughts from Jenny on behalf of our energy department.
What’s Charging Those Stations? 🤔 | Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm On Gas Prices & EVs
The Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm claims that you will save over $60 every fill up if you just bought a $50,000 electric vehicle. That will not only save you money somehow but also save the planet from those dangerous fossil fuels. Funny though, what is charging the charging stations that fuel EVs? Could it be coal?
By the way, this inflation thingy….

It’s already here in The People’s Republic. I posted some of this at Z’s a while back. So bear with me, cuz this is how they’re planning to force it down your throat.
Here in my communist town they just issued their ‘plan’ to electrify the city completely by 2045. This includes the replacement of all gas appliances: heaters, cooktops, ovens, clothes dryer, water heater. Add an outlet for an EV car, and higher insurance costs to cover fire. This adds about 150 more amps to each unit which have already upgraded to the max the power service to the building will allow, which is 75 or 100 amps per unit (it varies). This is expensive! We recently did 2 of them. $4,000 per panel to do again – plus changing the wiring (cutting major holes in walls and patching, painting) to serve the new appliances. That’s AFTER you fork over $10-20,000 to the power company to increase the size of the drop from their power pole to your building. And dig up the below ground conduits to install larger pipes. So maybe $30-40,000 per unit!
Savings? The city calculates energy savings of $4,500 over 30 years from new style appliances (which have heat pumps that won’t fit our footprint). Nowhere in their calculation did I see the cost of energy expenditures to mine, manufacturer, and ship all those replacement appliances as well as the cost of disposal of working appliances before their expiry. First clue that “net energy” use is only the stalking horse.
MORE
If you sell your building after 2028 (5 years) you must complete all these upgrades in order to sell it! No waiting to 2045. But they want new water heaters zero emission this year. So that brings ALL those expenses to bear the minute one has to replace a water heater.
WHAT’S GOING ON
1) a forced transfer of capital away from one party so another party with no investment or risk can feel good about virtue signaling, or
2) a confiscatory policy to force a fire sale for which others benefit (like those swooping in after riots burn down the town to buy things cheap), or
3) plain stupidity anchored in malfeasance?
4) All three.
THE CLUE: On top of that, in California there’s a law afoot to force you to make your first sales offer to a government sponsored agency. Think more’s going on here than ‘energy savings” now?
THE KICKER.
The city proposed a rebate to offset the costs: $2,000! Only for “income qualified” recipients.
NAME OF THIS ‘PLAN’: They call it the “Equitable Electrification Roadmap.” Woo-hoo, Equitable! They did not consult building owners or their associations or anyone who will shell out money for this nonsense. Instead they conducted ‘Equitable Community Engagement’ with these groups:
• Santa Monica Black Lives Association (SMBLA)
• Community Corporation of Santa Monica (CCSM) – this is a leftist money pit
• Climate Action Santa Monica (CASM)
Clearer now?
Sorry it’s so long. But there’s your roadmap.

Sure. This is the city’s link to their PR and the document. https://www.santamonica.gov/press/2023/02/27/city-of-santa-monica-releases-existing-building-electrification-roadmap
Interesting, but local city council members said “what, were we asleep when this passed?” Two commented they understood it was only for new buildings – a rational position. But I have all their documents discussing ‘existing stock’ and a casual nod to the difficulty that will need “creative tactics and policies.” Hot button words right up there with “warp speed.”

A favorite ad I remember from a kid showed a short order cook rapidly turning around hamburger orders – the kind the waitress clipped on to a rotating order wheel. He’d grab the order, flip on the burger, gas up, gas down over and over again. Voiceover: “if a short order cook had to cook with anything but gas he’d be a long order cook.” Maybe they’ll solve this ‘problem’ by making fake meat semi cooked out of the test tube.

We kind of felt the same way about ‘losing’ Kamala Harris out of the AG role here in California. Except all the rest are just as bad. She was dangerous in the senate. Would have been best to drop kick her right into the dead end of the vice presidency. As was once said in the movie The Madness of King George, “the Prince of Wales [substitute Vice Presidency] is not a position. It’s a predicament!” Good place for her, and nowhere to go after except as show dressing in some think tank.

As AG she was vicious too. Bunk, she went after conservative 501c3 groups for their membership lists if – I believe – they were even elsewhere but got contributions from Californians. This is a BIG no-no. Furthermore, the NAACP (back in the day when it actually stood for the advancement of colored people) filed 2 lawsuits against Alabama for the SAME THING and WON at the supreme court. After the first suit, Alabama came back and tried another tack. They got slapped down twice. It was a landmark case. NO WAY Harris does not know about it, especially with her ostensible concern for colored peoples’ legal advances. But … she tried the same thing. Also got slapped down after wasting a ton of my tax money trying. It’s a game with them. Pushing, pushing, pushing and no respect for law.

Anyone believing any Republican whether it be Trump, Desantis or Mickey Mouse can defeat any Democrat whether it be Biden, KHO, Newsome or Aunt Jamima needs electric (powered by gas) paddles applied to their frontal lobes. Anyone believing the Republicans retain a majority in the House and gain the majority in the Senate in 2024 needs to stop smoking wacky weed while tuning in to FOX. It will take more than 7% mortgages, empty store shelves, runaway crime, non-existing borders, sex change surgery for five year olds, transgender guides at Disneyland, weekly train derailments, pizza pies cooked on a gas powered electric pizza oven, the color white expunged and outlawed, African and Caribbean natives flown in to pick up their reparations check -did we miss any infamnia- before enough Americans wake up from their stupor and realize their country no longer exists.
