    I don’t have much data(just a little involvement with Enron and their manipulation of electricity costs), but there is a lot of money to be made in electricity. I believe the California lobby is pretty strong and pushing the reduction of natural gas. I think they want an all electric state(not including power plants)

      We also have a bunch of ESS startups (at least in the bay area) carving into the newer market of decentralized energy.

        ESS is worthy of a separate post. I doubt they are involved in this anti-gas chicanery, but they would really help push us to a more sustainable future.

      How dare you. You’re going to get chased out of this fucking post with spears and swords like I did when I asked my question. 😂 People on the internet always have their fingers on the trigger. You can’t even fucking breathe without getting attacked. How dare you say something they don’t agree with.

        Yeah. There is a lot of that. I tried to correct some factual errors about container homes and got downvoted and got replies of pigs butts. Eventually the mod deleted all my comments.

          Lmao. No worries, downvotes don’t really mean jack on Lemmy. Let them downvote as much as they want. Fucking speak your mind, who cares?

            When I find people that knowingly lie or are unable to have reasoned discourse I check out their history. If I don’t feel like they have anything to contribute to me I add them to my blocklist. It has gotten really big and grows everyday, but people on here now seem very nice.

            Maybe that downvotes on this conversation is just because my limited knowledge and opinion doesn’t add to the conversation. I don’t fault them for that.

              The downvotes you’re getting are because you didn’t say “science” and said electric had something do with making gas stoves look bad. Basically, you can’t have an opinion, because it’s always “science”. I get it, science is good, but that doesn’t mean we ostracize people when they say something different. Their there has to be some discourse, right? Like the other person who commented on my question in a very snarky way like they’re Einstein and I’m just Alex Jones or something. Lmfao.

                I didn’t see that comment. I guess they are already on my block list.

                It’s not science, and I could be completely wrong. The article isn’t science either. The study is and I haven’t looked at it closely. To me it feels very questionable. Some things that make me question it are “contributed to 19,000” is very nebulous. I am sure the downvotes have contributed to my [future] death. I just don’t think it is significant.
