Dept. of Energy wants to crack down on more of your stuff

Frau Jennifer Granholm: the inspiration of cold showers

The Department of Energy is planning yet another crackdown on the things that you have in your home or for your personal use. It has gone from incandescent lightbulbs to gas stoves to gasoline cars and now to hot water heaters. What's next, soap?

The fascistic DOE announced their plan on Friday to crack down on home hot water heaters because grabbing power instead of releasing it, is how these tyrants roll. It's all part of a string of proposed rules from whoever is running the Biden administration to take away your right to buy appliances for your home or the type of vehicle you want to drive, in their effort to limit your consumer power.

So they hope to tighten requirements for water heaters, stating that “most common-sized electric water heaters to achieve efficiency gains with heat pump technology and gas-fired instantaneous water heaters to achieve efficiency gains through condensing technology,” according to the DOE's press release. 

This administration, and whoever is calling the shots because it isn't Joe Biden, is forcing their will upon us while using climate change fears as their cause for doing this to us. They say it will save us $11 billion yearly on utility bills and $198 billion over a thirty year period. The DOE also says it would also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 500 million tons during the same period, and even millions and millions more if a-holes like John Kerry, Pete Buttigieg and many senators refrain from using private jets or forcing military planes to haul their fat butts all over the globe so that they can pretend to care about the environment.

“Today’s actions — together with our industry partners and stakeholders — improve outdated efficiency standards for common household appliances, which is essential to slashing utility bills for American families and cutting harmful carbon emissions,” Energy Secretary, Frau Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.

“This proposal reinforces the trajectory of consumer savings that forms the key pillar of Bidenomics and builds on the unprecedented actions already taken by this Administration to lower energy costs for working families across the nation,” she added.

While DOE said the proposed standards would “accelerate deployment” of electric heat pump water heaters, Fox News reported they would force cheaper gas heaters off the market. The news outlet noted that non-condensing gas-fired heaters are cheaper, having a smaller size and lower installation costs.

The three words Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) told the Biden administration were: "Leave us alone." This is a sentiment that sums it up perfectly.
