Ah, yes. Mr. Whitehair admitting that the green new scam cannot continue without taking money from others, especially lower income folks, to give to those looking to upgrade to electric. Note that most of the folks who can afford the cost of these upgrades are “rich” compared to others. Basically, we have another example of the rich getting richer, on other people’s money. I wonder if Mr. Whitehair, since my friend DK is unable to, can explain why it is okay for folks to take 400+ private jets and who knows how many public jets to fly to a climate conference to lecture folks on reducing carbon emissions while these talk-the-talk but don’t walk-the-walk activists burn carbon to their hearts content.

When even the UN's IPCC has acknowledged that the climate crisis is hyperbole, we get a guy like Whitehair insisting on continuing this hoax. I for one will be buying a healthy inventory of water heaters and should make a bundle on selling them on the black market starting in 2027. Has Mr. Whitehair, and his confused cadre, figured out what to do with tankless water heaters? These devices spew even more inert pollutants into our air.

I was considering trading in my gas HVAC for an electric heat pump that would also provide me with AC. Turns out the electric heat pump would cost between $16K and $23K. The answer was easy, NO! It would take me until the year 2100 to pay for this boondoggle of an idea. BTW - we need more carbon in the atmosphere so our plants can flourish.
