These new regulations would go into effect in 2028.
The Biden administration announced on Friday new restrictions on gas-powered furnaces in order to curb carbon emissions and residential energy use.
According to the Department of Energy, these regulations will cut household utility costs by $1.5 billion annually and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“At the direction of Congress, DOE is continuing to review and finalize energy standards for household appliances, such as residential furnaces, to lower costs for working families by reducing energy use and slashing harmful pollutants in homes across the nation,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.
“Today’s measure, along with this Administration’s past and planned energy efficiency actions, underscores President Biden’s commitment to save Americans money and deliver healthier communities,” she added.
So a lower gas bill will turn into a much higher electric bill. How is electricity made ? Gas, oil, nuclear. So a higher demand on the power stations will cause them to burn more gas and oil to power your electric stove, furnace, water heater ….EV…. What happened to the days when natural gas was touted as clean energy ?
1.5 BILLION sounds like a lot of money, but lets take a look at the numbers. Government fuzzy math logic says….
Guesstimating the USA has 350 million people, with 3 people per household would equal 116.6 million homes. 1.5 billion dollars divided by 116.6 million homes equals a savings of $12.93 per year per home or a savings of $1.07 per month. These figures do not take into consideration homes with heat pumps which produce 0 carbon emissions per year other than carbon emissions needed to produce electricity. WOW a savings of $1.07 per month.
ENOUGH of this Monster telling Americans What to Do !!! LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE !!! IMPEACH NOW !!!!!
F Joe Biden – I bet he has a gass Furnace, Stove, Car – WHEN WILL you Idiots wake up – they want CONTROL – of you. None of these Go Greens stop flying, driving or using anything they restrict on us.
