We need to rid our society of the false prophets of net zero and fringe supporters of the WEF. We need to continue support for our modern lifestyle and standard of living for everyone. Let the net zero clowns eat bugs and forage their neighborhood for weeds. The rest of us will continue to thrive as humans.
I'm 80 and remember my mother getting a clothes dryer in the 1980's, to be used only on bad weather days. My father later commented that there hasn't been a nice day since we boughy it.
Well done, excellent points - and the labor that those home appliances have given women the time to become "Karens," and in the United States, and even in my own family, they think they can run everyone's lives rather than be nice to people. People need to be grateful for the technology and energy that gives them freedom - there are still 4 billion people without regular electricity. I would gladly transport my family members, who are left-leaning know-it-alls who make people's lives miserable, to a place where they still have to struggle to make daily life happen.
Great points. What I worry about is the possibility of power outages and energy shortages during weather extremes. If the weather is over 100 degrees, you can get very uncomfortable and even die without air conditioning. Most of the southwest US gets very hot for several months every year -- the AVERAGE July high in Phoenix is 107 degrees! Without reliable AC, they have an emergency. And without reliable heat in the northern states, so do they. Will it take misery on a massive scale to wake people up to the need for reliable energy?
In Canada, particularly in the prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta the reliable heat issue is paramount. It can be in the -30 to -40 range for several weeks if not months during the winter and the prescribed heat pumps are ineffectual. Reliable heat was a real game changer.
Reliable HVAC has greatly expanded the habitable area of the earth, but now we take it for granted. If the net-zero geniuses prevail, we will gain a new appreciation for it -- particularly aging baby-boomers who just want to be comfortable!
I live in the SF Bay Area, where the climate is mild, yet my utility bills are still high thanks to the Democrats deliberately driving up energy prices to force conservation. Winter highs are usually in the 50s here, yet my winter utility bill often exceeds $900/month for my typical suburban home.
Yes, and in that cold, drivers running low on ‘juice’ must choose between heat in the car or getting to where they can re-charge. I myself am stunned that a government can even suggest Mandating what kind of cars we can buy. They work for US, lest they forget.
Yikes, most mother’s worst nightmare. And when you run out of juice, the car just stops, no coasting it to the side of the road or pushing it. It is heavy and just stops dead as a doornail.
It’s a similar story in the southeast except that air conditioning is more pivotal for humidity control. It’s usually 60-80% humidity in south Louisiana. Without air conditioning our homes would quickly buckle and fill up with mold. It can also have fatal consequences!
Most people need their hand held as to where power even comes from. I try to take every opportunity to explain it even if it’s annoying.
It is alarming how many places there are where HVAC is critical life support -- especially for older folks. And it is even more alarming how willing the elite class is to jeopardize its reliability, putting the masses at risk of hell on earth. You can't sleep well in 90 degree temperature.
My Grampa bought Gramma an electric range after she broke her hip the 2nd time hauling wood from the woodshed to the Wood Fired Kitchen Range, she promptly burnt every meal for a year learning how to cook all over again. This was in the early 1970's, but Gramps was a lineman for the Rural Electricfication Agency back in the 1920's-30's, he (we) fought so hard to break free from the drudgery of hand pumping water (if y'all want to figure that out, take a 5 gallon bucket to a crick or faucet in your house and haul it around, then multiply by cooking/cleaning/clothes/bathes etc. Never go back to these things. It made men women old by their 40's. We live such blessed lives now, don't take it for granted.
Thank you so much for sharing that story! You're absolutely right -- it's important not to take it for granted and resist those who want to force western societies to go back to rough living.
I understand. As a 10 yo in a drought in Melbourne, it was my job to water the vegetable & other gardens when we had water restrictions during the 1960s drought. I used a 5 gallon galvanised steel watering can. I also helped my father chop wood for the open fire. And hauled a sack of sawdust from the local timber mill for our guinea pigs & chooks.
And we always walked to school, from age 4. Over a mile. I didn’t mind. And now at 69, I’m fit, love walking, & on no medication, unlike my friends.
Tammy, As you know, Robert Bryce has been making these points about women’s burdens living in energy poverty for several years. You two are natural allies. Thanks for your great work and intelligent voices.
It has been hard watching the Green Industrial Complex ignore billions of women living in some form of energy poverty. Green has become inhumane in front of our eyes.
Oh, this is so true. Read Robert Bryce’s books where he chronicles the inability of poor women, young and old, who never have a shot at an education or a job because cooking, cleaning, and caring for the home (whether it’s a hit or a house) requires enormous amounts of time without electricity.
Well stated.

Yup, I would love to watch Mark Carney and his ilk eat a bowl of mealworms or crickets.

Well put. The issues you stress are rarely mentioned.
It seems there are a lot of young women in the green energy movement that would benefit from your article. It was excellent.
Great read!

In the UK, I've seen mothers completely stressed out trying to do the school run and make it to and from school through bad traffic on one charge.

My two cents. Being a mom is more rewarding than career. If ever there was a choice it would be mom. Thank God for oil and gas!

Elon Musk, in 2023 at an AI summit, suggested many in the green movement would put planet and environment before people. https://www.adaderana.lk/technologynews.php?nid=94515
