Big brother to switch off your fridge: Power giants to make millions - but you must pay for 'sinister' technology | Mail Online

Fridges and freezers in millions of British homes will automatically be switched off without the owner’s consent under a ‘Big Brother’ regime to reduce the strain on power stations.

Green Crusade a Threat to Economic Growth | Somewhat Reasonable

One last EPA-generated boondoggle that may soon result in higher prices for gasoline is the agency’s requirement for ethanol blending. The EPA sets quotas for gasoline pool blending by domestic refiners every year. Unfortunately, if the quota is too high and above the 10 percent “blend wall” beyond which refiners are reluctant to add ethanol to their gasoline pool (for fear of lawsuits due to engine damage from ethanol blending greater than 10 percent), they are required to buy credits, or in industry parlance, RINs (renewable identification numbers).

All these areas of EPA involvement are likely to continue to threaten the vibrancy of the U.S. economy should it be allowed to continue on its green crusade. We are fighting a battle against scientific ignorance and environmental nihilism that we cannot afford to lose. And as is the case in dealing with gangrene, the only solution here may be a partial “amputation” of the powers of an increasingly toxic EPA that have grown well beyond those its creators originally intended.
