I have 250lb test zip ties in my truck. I will zip tie those bitches to power poles or fence posts.
Does that qualify as false imprisonment? If not, brilliant.I have 250lb test zip ties in my truck. I will zip tie those bitches to power poles or fence posts.
According to the Energy Department's analysis, the new rules would save households about $39 over the lifespan of the new energy-efficient fan. However, the cost to manufacturers associated with the increased equipment will total $86.6 million per year, the department said.
"This rule would require numerous small business fan manufacturers to redesign their products and may put between 10 and 30 percent of small business ceiling fan manufacturers out of business," the GOP members of the committee wrote in a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Thursday. "It appears that the Department of Energy (DOE) may not have properly considered small entities during this rulemaking process."
this is the problem with a giant unaccountable bureaucracy. they do shady cost analysis that show a "savings" based on ridiculous presumptions to push their narrative (and made easier by a recent Biden EO) as customer "savings" but don't take into account the costs manufacturers will pass on in upgrades and compliance costs and how it will drive smaller manufacturers out of business and create monopolies and then scream "corporate greed" and everyone falls for it.Biden admin's latest home appliance crackdown: ceiling fans
The Department of Energy is proposing a rule requiring ceiling fans to be more energy efficient. While it would save households money, it would cost manufacturers more.www.foxbusiness.com
Costs which will be passed on the consumer, so when people have to replace ceiling fans, they'll pay notably more for the fan than they'll ever see in energy savings. $39 over the lifespan of the fan....So, $1.50-$2 a year savings in energy while we pay $100-$300 more per fan?this is the problem with a giant unaccountable bureaucracy. they do shady cost analysis that show a "savings" based on ridiculous presumptions to push their narrative (and made easier by a recent Biden EO) as customer "savings" but don't take into account the costs manufacturers will pass on in upgrades and compliance costs and how it will drive smaller manufacturers out of business and create monopolies and then scream "corporate greed" and everyone falls for it.
$35 contractor grade ceiling fan has been running continuously in my bedroom for 21 years. Only get turned off when we clean the blades.Costs which will be passed on the consumer, so when people have to replace ceiling fans, they'll pay notably more for the fan than they'll ever see in energy savings. $39 over the lifespan of the fan....So, $1.50-$2 a year savings in energy while we pay $100-$300 more per fan?
Fucking insanity.
yes great point.$35 contractor grade ceiling fan has been running continuously in my bedroom for 21 years. Only get turned off when we clean the blades.
Once they fuck with the fans not only will they cost more, I have no doubt they won't last as long.
The market doesn't get to decide because they'll tell all this energy efficient scam bullshit to fuck right off. Pizza places want to burn wood ovens, people want gas vehicles, and people don't give a fuck about $2/mo in energy savings in some ideological scam, and most importantly, people in general want the government to stop regulating the shit out of everything to hurt small businesses and the average citizen.yes great point.
let the market decide
We should do a separate thread just for Biden gaffes.
What it actually sounds like is a bitter moron who has traveled on an airplane, at best, less times than the number of fingers on one hand, but is so delusional he thinks he's more intelligent than people with doctorates.Are we seeing the videos of how badly Hawaii fucked up the fires? No warnings, no signal, people blocked by police to escape. People who survived were people who went around the barricades. WTF. The mayor insists he couldn't use the siren for a fire because it "usually" means a tsunami. Interviews with the burned out locals are saying real estate investors are hassling them to sell.
So let's see....The land was protected by law and couldn't have their structures demolished. It burns down, the poor people's homes not the rich people's....and now the locals have people after their land so they can build what they wanted where they couldn't have with the old buildings still standing.
Doesn't sound like much of a conspiracy theory, more like a theory with evidence.
