“Wartime” Climate Policy vs. Natural Gas: Biden Gets Desperate
By Mark Krebs -- November 27, 2023“While gas appliances may presently be losing some market share to electricity due to Green New Deal discrimination, there are also increasing indications that the public is both weary and wary of such ‘watermelon’ policies.
