Your commentary illuminates the irrational use of the Defenses Production Act to archive an irrational agenda. As long as these amendments to the law and others similar exist the administrative state will undoubtedly use them to their end, regardless of who may be president. For this to change saner heads must prevail!
Saner heads need to prevail for sure! Also respect for the Constitution of the United States would help get the country back on track. Thanks for your thoughts and comments, Dana. Ed
I'm afraid I can't quite stretch my logic that far - maybe I'm just not creative enough!
How heat pumps will eliminate oil and gas is beyond me too, since all our electric will be relaying on oil and gas in the near future to keep the lights on. Heat pumps may work in California with mild weather, but in the north, not so much. Nor do they work in Germany or Britain, where they are not going over well either. Those mandates are not working out for them either.
You are so right this country does not need more central planning, look how well it is working for the European countries - are the politicians so blind they just can't see that or can't change course because they might look dumb - no they don't want to.
Yes, you are also right on the Constitution, which seems to be somewhat trodden on these days to get what they want. How many politicians do you think have actually read it, let alone understood it?
Thanks, JF. You are correct that forcing everything to be electric assumes that electricity will be generated by things that they are subsidizing, such as wind and solar. But if that doesn't work out, which is happening, then emissions are higher than they are now. This could be called a goal without a plan. They think that if they throw enough money at their chosen wind and solar generation, it will be successful. But offshore wind has already proven that no amount of subsidies can overcome the physics of wind (see Betz's Law). The same is true for heat pumps. They are expensive to buy, expensive to use, and don't work efficiently most places. This is another failure in the making. Ed
