If anyone remembers how the end of cigarettes came about it was started with the Surgeon General issuing such a report, then heavy regulations imposed and heavier taxes. They didn't kill smoking all at once; they strangled it python-style. That is exactly what they hope to do here.

AS a kid I would run up to Gasen's drug store and buy my mom a pack of cigarettes. Did it all the time when I was eight or nine. Now you have to present an I.D. in Walgreens to buy any tobacco products, no matter how old you are. I bought a pack of cigars to take to my cabin and had to present I.D. - and I'm about to turn sixty years old.

It's how they killed smoking, and how they hope to end firearms.

American energy production increased by 4% and consumption decreased by 1%. So why haven't we seen a decrease in our costs?

U.S. energy production exceeded consumption by record amount in 2023 - U.S. Energy Information

In fact the consumer price for electricity rose by 6.2%, from 15.04 cents per kilowatthour (kWh) in 2022 to 15.98 cents/kWh in 2023. And it is expected to rise even more next year.

So why is it costing more if we have more electricity and less demand?
