Now the so-called "elitist eco-warriors" seem out to have wood fires banned ...in my world...and maybe soon in everyone else's world;
Texans who were caught in the freezing cold recently, including those who had to chop up their furniture and burn it to keep warm...might not be amused.
Same with those in my world living in freezing cold but no-snow areas...and in the mountains etc.
Vikki Campion: Wood heating under threat from elitist eco-warriors
To ban wood heating as the cost of electricity ratchets up, and access to affordable power is broken by renewables zealots, fails the first law of government, Vikki Campion writes.
Being poor does not cut it anymore, now you must also be cold.
We now have an urban politician, who won his safe seat under the guise of being a Liberal [Conservative], telling us that we cannot use the first renewable source of fuel to keep warm. From the dawn of time, we have burned twigs and logs.
Suffering Guyra’s July mean minimum temperature of about zero degrees with no wood heating, delivers a two-person household a quarterly electricity bill of about $1600. Firewood, meanwhile, is free to cut – or about $150 a tonne to buy.
To ban wood heating as the cost of electricity ratchets up, and access to affordable power is broken by renewables zealots and carpetbag investors, fails the first law of government.
To add to the indignity, renewables-only electricity will likely blackout when you need it most. This is when demand is high – either on a cold, still night with no sun shining and no wind blowing, or blowing a gale and snowing.
