The goal is to kill millions of people thru privation, be it via health or economic.
Actually that's not totally true. There are many other countries that use coal for power (some countries a lot more than we do) and some of these countries simply don't have the land available for storing coal ash (including fly ash) in landfills or holding ponds. Those countries recycle all of the ash.
which is just one example of 'pat' answers being stupid since they discount or ignore the creativity of people to come to a useful and even beneficial application of 'waste' products. Resorting to gov't force and simple-minded banning is the hallmark of weak uneducated minds who can't see past their nose and abrogate to themselves domain knowledge they don't have. Just wait, this whole EV drum is going to backfire spectacularly in the coming years - in ways the "policy makers" couldn't conceive of. And it'll be up to the unshackled minds of the private sector chasing all that filthy disgusting "money" and profits that will come up with some nifty answers.
She's entitled to her opinion, as absolute and retrogressive as it may be.I would go easy on her, I would even pity her, if she were in an asylum, where she belongs.
As it is, she's too dangerous for me to feel anything but hatred and contempt for her.
Here we go again - extremes.
And in real terms refrigerators are cheaper than they have ever been. Just the same scare stories about when CFC's were being phased out.
That is the issue with her. She is as extreme in her views as some others are about the opposing views and as we know too well from history the extremes never get anywhere.
The big problem with this is that you are suggesting people who are experts in their fields know less about this than you do. Where do you think the information you research comes from? It comes from people who spend their entire lives working on these subjects, and do you know how they know they are right - when things they do or explain work as predicted. Aeroplanes fly because people understand aerodynamics and apply that knowledge, otherwise we would still be standing on the ground flapping our arms. The knowledge you have gained and used to post above is but one small part of the whole story and climatologists spend their careers researching the subject - they know far more about it than you have learned from them on the internet. I'm inclined to believe them when the vast majority have concerns about future climate.
Really, they are banning ICE Doubling or tripling the cost of a refrigerator is effectively banning them to a large segment of our population, Oh wait the Gov will send them a check. Who pays for that?
Did you read your own link? - it says almost half the fridges made currently already comply and that prices 'may' increase (unlike the sensationalist title which says they will 'cost you a lot more money')
dont' worry. Just like there were free rabbit ears for the poor, there will be 1/3-sized refrigerators and you'll just have to do what all those "down to earth" asians do - hop on their mama-san 'chari' (that's Japanese slang for bicycle) and go shopping every day to the local supermarket about 6-8 blocks away where you buy just enough food for dinner and breakfast. We'll have eliminated the VASTLY more expensive problem/drain of social resources that is obesity and cardiovascular disease.
1. Incorrect. I suggest people who are experts in their field are cherry-picking data and making catastrophic predictions to advance political agendas.
