The Biden Administration Will be Moving Against Air Conditioning Next

Say, remember when the Consumer Protection Board announced plans to ban gas stoves, and within 24 hours, everyone in the propaganda media was saying that anyone mentioning the plan to ban gas stoves was a conspiracy theorist?

Well, Biden wants to ban or limit air conditioning, at least for the Commoners, but if you say anything about this, guess what you are?

Is there a war on appliances? Or is it a war on you?

I'd tell you to keep your cool, but that's going to be hard when Team Biden takes away your air conditioner.

And the Biden administration certainly has an appetite for regulating household appliances in a way that seems calculated to make your life worse.

Many readers will remember the Biden team's recent abortive effort to regulate gas stoves largely out of existence.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm -- later forced to admit she has a gas stove at home herself -- proposed draconian gas-stove regulations in the name of "climate change" and a dubious scientific study connecting gas cooking and asthma.

She withdrew them in the face of massive public resistance.

...

Now, in the latest episode of Team Biden's "war on appliances," the Energy Department has turned its attention to air conditioners, specifically room air conditioners of the sort used disproportionately by poor people, minorities and the elderly to keep cool in summer heat.

New energy-efficiency regulations promise to make these units more expensive for consumers and potentially less reliable and less effective at, you know, actually cooling things off.

"What these standards do is enforce a level of efficiency that doesn't make sense," the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Ben Lieberman told Fox News Digital last week. "And they compromise product quality. We've already seen this to an extent with cost of clothes-washer standards."

...

They point to climate change and the environment. But if those problems are bad enough to justify putting our most vulnerable citizens at risk during summer heat waves, I think we need to see that our most powerful citizens share in their sacrifice.

Therefore, I have a proposal of my own: Ban air conditioning in Washington, DC.

Sure, it'll be less comfortable. But let's face facts: We won two world wars with a capital city that was largely devoid of air conditioning.

Now there's air conditioning everywhere in DC, but is the government working any better?

...

Dealing with climate change demands sacrifice, we're constantly told, so let those calling for it sacrifice first. Leave our elderly and minority populations alone.

Now about those private jets . . .
