WTH is the Left Waging War on Things That Work? Noah Rothman Explains

The dictators of the nanny state are waging war on things that
work. Daily appliances that make life manageable (your gas
stoves, your AC, your lawn equipment) are increasingly under
assault, with dubious climate/equity rationales. But the effects
on climate are negligible, and the myriad electric substitutions
don’t just have environmental costs of their own, many simply
don’t work. So what is really going on? Instead of protecting the
consumer as these bans claim to do, this new technocratic
bullying is imposing a lifestyle brand – electric cars, electric
stoves, heat pumps, etc. If you don’t like it… well, you *will*
like it. The progressive Puritans will make sure of that.


Noah Rothman is a senior writer at National Review, a former
MSNBC commentator, and a former associate editor for Commentary
Magazine. He is the author of The Rise of the New Puritans:
Fighting Back Against Progressives' War on Fun.
