To “the deep state is cool and has to do some shit to protect democracy”we’re way past “no evidence at all” and have moved back to “you guys lost in court lol!!!”
The new standards are a scaled-down version of regulations first proposed by the DOE in January 2023, under which 95% of distribution transformers would have been required to be made with amorphous alloy, and manufacturers would have three years to comply.Granholm also emphasized that the https://www.foxnews.com/category/columns/energy-in-america will slash nearly 85 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of the combined annual emissions of 11 million U.S. homes.
Under DOE's regulations, energy efficiency gains will be achieved with 75% of the transformers on the market being manufactured with grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES) and another 25% being manufactured with amorphous alloy, a lesser-used electric steel core material. Manufacturers will be given five years to ensure total compliance with the regulations. -https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-issues-energy-efficiency-restrictions-on-key-power-grid-technology
This is super pronounced in places like LA and SF.
it’s super pronounced in my neighborhood.This is super pronounced in places like LA and SF.
Can’t control the border without the legislature passing bills according to Biden and The Party. Drive up energy costs? Stroke of the pen and it’s done.More help for the US energy consumer. Replace all the US distribution transformers in five years. Leftards love to believe in unicorns. If there was a competitive ROI for new energy efficient transformers, there wouldn't be any need for a new regulation. And we wonder why electricity rates are going up instead of down. Greedy utilities according to Nobel Prize for Economics winning Buck.
Biden DOE Slaps Energy Efficiency Regulations On Key Power Grid Components | ZeroHedge

The Bide administration has finalized energy efficiency regulations for distribution transformers, a key component of managing the flow of electricity between power stations and consumers.
In a Thursday morning announcement, the Department of Energy said that the regulations would help accelerate the green agenda as part of the administration's "commitment to tackling the climate crisis" (and causing more inflation).
The agency suggested that the move would save utilities and businesses over $824 million per year in electricity costs (once they come out of pocket for the 'necessary' upgrades).
"These standards are going to make America's power grid more resilient," said DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm, adding "They'll support good-paying, high-quality manufacturing jobs, and they'll help us deploy more affordable and reliable and clean electricity more quickly across the country."
"It's going to provide critical, long-term certainty for domestic manufacturing and production investments – it's going to strengthen energy and economic supply chain security," she continued, adding "And it'll position American producers and workers to capture an evolving and growing market."
The new standards are a scaled-down version of regulations first proposed by the DOE in January 2023, under which 95% of distribution transformers would have been required to be made with amorphous alloy, and manufacturers would have three years to comply.
The original proposal has been widely criticized by power providers and utility companies which said it's unrealistic, leading to bipartisan legislation introduced by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) which would require the DOE to preserve market opportunities for transformer manufacturers.
Brown said that GOES accounts for more than 95% of the domestic distribution transformer market, while amorphous steel relies on foreign materials, while there's just one small producer in the US. Therefore, per Brown, rapidly ramping up reliance on amorphous steel could create a vulnerability in the US power grid.
We don't have any in the latter group among the dems in Congress. The Republicans have Rand Paul with an actual MD who practiced medicine unlike Dr. Fow Chee. Unlike the dems in Congress and Fow Chee, Rand, DeSantis, Noem and the governor of Georgia actually knew more about pandemics than the CDC. Good for Rand and Co. bad for the CDC and the nation. Same with the nation's energy and immigratioin policy. Political hack morons are in charge with the full support of 81 million alleged dem voters and the Tug leftards.Can’t control the border without the legislature passing bills according to Biden and The Party.

Retards believe Democrats and that’s about it. The smarter ones know it’s all fiction but don’t care. We don’t have any of the latter group on the Tug.
