Recently, the Leftist environmental lunatics who inhabit the Administration of Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden added a new station to the route of its Crazy Train. The elimination of gas stoves. This is yet another component of the Left’s unasked for, unwelcome, unnecessary, and unconstitutional attempt to transform what was once the freest nation on Earth into a totalitarian Gulag. It was announced that gas stoves present health hazards such as the production of nitrogen dioxide, which may irritate the respiratory system and cause asthma. More importantly, it was suggested that the elimination of gas stoves was necessary in order to save the planet. Again with the planet. Why can’t they just leave the planet alone? The planet was doing just fine without the interference of these sanctimonious,Woke A-holes. George Carlin had their number long before Woke A-holes were even called Woke. “Save the planet!” What?! Are these fucking people kidding me?! Save the planet?! We don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet! We haven’t learned how to care for one another and we’re gonna save the fucking planet?! I’m getting tired of that shit! I’m tired of fucking Earth Day! I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists; these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren’t enough bicycle paths! People trying to make the world safe for their Volvo’s! Besides, environmentalists don’t give a shit about the planet. They don’t care about the planet; not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live; their own habitat. They’re worried that someday in the future, they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me. Besides, there is nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine… the people are fucked! Difference! The planet is fine! Compared to the people, THE PLANET IS DOING GREAT: Been here four and a half billion years! Do you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years, we’ve been here what? 100,000? Maybe 200,000? And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years. 200 years versus four and a half billion and we have the conceit to think that somehow, we’re a threat? That somehow, we’re going to put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that’s just a-floatin’ around the sun? The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us: been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drifts, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages, and we think some plastic bags and aluminum cans are going to make a difference?” Amen, George. Anyhow, the furor over supposed gas stove dangers caused speculation that the federal government may try to ban gas stoves. Richard Trumka, Jr. (son of the late AFL-CIO President, which was his only qualification), of the Consumer Products Safety Council sparked the controversy by signaling that the CPSC might try to ban gas stoves. The outcry was so loud that he was made to walk his suggestion back, for now. But the Left never gives up. This gas stove B.S. will be back. The recent trial balloon (not balloons again) was the work of the Climate Imperative Foundation, an extremist environmentalist group, whose mission is to transition the world to renewable energy and away from so-called fossil fuels. They say the world’s scientists agree this must be done. Of course, that’s a lie, but even if true, since when do scientists dictate world energy or any other policy? This Foundation is so dedicated to science that it gave money to the Rocky Mountain Institute, which produced a study that concluded that “gas stoves have to go.” The only problem with this is that, as Kimberly Strassel has reported, neither of the authors of the Rocky Mountain Institute anti-gas stove study are scientists, nor do they have any science degrees. They’re two Leftist lawyers. They’re climate change activists who are dedicated to ending the use of oil and natural gas. The Rocky Mountain Institute promotes the use of solar, wind, biofuel and geothermal energy to get to “net zero” carbon emissions. All the fuels that have driven California’s electrical grid to the brink of collapse. This is necessary to “save the planet” don’t you know. Climate Imperative has also given Consumer Reports $375,000, which coincidentally led to a CR story about the dangers of, guess what? Gas stoves. That’s right, the same Consumer Reports that keeps telling us it’s unbiased. All of these outfits are tight with the Biden Crime Family. They won’t give up. And the truth will never stand in the way of messianic socialism. This has nothing to do with the safety of gas stoves, and everything to do with the fact that the stoves run on natural gas. If it was proven that natural gas cured cancer, these bastards would still be trying to get rid of it. All of a sudden gas stoves are a known risk to life? The first gas stove was built in 1802. Gas stoves were in use by the 1820’s. Life expectancy in 1860 was 40. In 2020, even with millions of gas stoves in use, it was nearly 80. Do you think that without gas stoves we’d live forever? The truth is that natural gas accounts for 17 deaths a year. Windmills kill 1,000 birds a day, and solar power farms kill nearly 400 a day. And why are all those dead whales washing up near wind power sites? This is not about safety or climate, it’s about Woke A-holes who want to tell you how you must live your life. We should be exploring all the so-called renewable energy sources – in addition to oil and gas – not instead of oil and gas. The Woke A-holes keep talking about renewable power sources, but the only power they seek is the power to make your life more expensive, more uncomfortable, and less free. Never forget, the day after the Berlin Wall fell, all the Reds turned Green. They have the same agenda, only now, instead of denouncing any opposition as “counter-revolutionary,” opponents are denounced as “climate deniers.” If it walks like a tyrant and talks like a tyrant, it’s a tyrant.
