Editor,

Has anybody else noticed that the day after this paper prints an opinion piece or letter to the editor advocating we go all electric, we get a blustery deluge leaving thousands without power for days.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Howard, but don’t be surprised if you’re bullied by the greenie meanies. It is taboo to bring up any examples or reality that goes against the short-sighted folks preaching the mandatory all-electric narrative and which believe electricity grows on trees. The greenies don’t want to hear it, and if they do, they’ll willfully ignore it.

It is ironic that most letters supporting electrification use the same group thinking verbiage and the same off-the-wall economics. All wrong of course. If any of you are also on NextDoor, which is a generally liberal website, the comments on the gas ban are almost comical and fiercely against removing natural gas from our homes. Especially since thousands on the Peninsula are still out of power. Excellent timing by the BAAQMD and its cohorts.

Electrification will tens of billions to updating and adding transmission lines. But no assembly person dare raise this issue for fear of bing striped of their committee assignments by Assemble "leaders".

"Let’s look for areas of compromise rather than drawing lines in the sand." When liberals say this - it means you need to change or else. Stop telling other people how to live their lives. What makes America so great is everyone has the freedom to live their lives as they see fit.
