Biden Administration Making Air Conditioning More Costly in the Name of Climate Change
Hannah Bleau
2 May 2023
President Joe Biden’s administration is making the cost of air conditioning more expensive via new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules, which are making the cost of refrigerants far more expensive as Americans head into the summer months.
According to reports, the EPA is “limiting” the supply of refrigerants, thereby boosting the cost, after deeming it a contributor of what the left has politically branded as “climate change.”
According to Fox News, “the production quotas have driven up their price about three-fold, and a recharge may cost $100 to $500 more than before these provisions took effect, depending on how much replacement refrigerant is needed.”
In other words, consumers who need air conditioner repairs could be paying much more due to the EPA regulations increasing the cost of the actual products. It could also be passed on to the consumer other ways as well, as the EPA rule also targets those who service air conditioners, requiring them to carry the product in “heavy refillable cylinders,” per the report.

Further, the EPA is pushing a regulation that would essentially phase out more affordable models of air conditioners, essentially deeming them unfriendly to the environment.
More via Fox News:
Central air conditioners are already impacted while a proposed new regulation for window units is in the early stages, and in both cases the claimed climate change benefits are a big part of the agency’s rationale. Installers say central systems jumped by up to $1,000 when the new rule took effect last Jan. 1, and a total cost of $10,000 is no longer a rarity.
In the past, Biden has essentially deemed “climate change” — otherwise known as the natural fluctuations of the planet throughout history, even prior to the industrial age — a “clear and present danger,” using the crisis to push left-wing agenda items, such as woke Green New Deal policies.

“I come here today with a message: As President, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger,” Biden said during a July 20, 2022 speech, in which he admitted he viewed “climate change” as a literal danger.
“And that’s what climate change is about. It is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger,” Biden stated.
Biden came under fire after Biden Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka, Jr. revealed that the administration was considering banning gas stoves in the name of climate change.
“This is a hidden hazard,” Trumka stated in January. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Fact-checkers were quick to cover for the administration, denying any such ban. However, Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) revealed in a Washington Examiner piece that the original claim was, in fact true.
She wrote in part [emphasis added]:
But, as we are seeing in so many other instances, Republicans were right all along. President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy is, in fact, pushing an extreme regulation that would effectively eliminate nearly all gas stoves.
The Department of Energy is conducting this gas stove grab through a rule that would impose extreme energy performance standards on residential cooktops. The department’s proposed rule sets requirements for gas cooktops at the maximum technologically feasible or “max-tech” level. Based on the D

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland Testifies It’s Better to Get Rid of Jobs in USA, Live in Poverty and Save the Planet – Even if Rest of The World Doesn’t Do It
May 2, 2023
Sundance
Around 15 years ago CTH outlined the inclusive goal of the progressive movement, modern Democrats as they were evolving, was to deconstruct the U.S. economic system so that Americans would be forced to live in government-controlled poverty. Essentially reduced to circling a campfire, eating sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off our family members.
Most people understandably scoffed and said we were being hyperbolic. However, what we were highlighting was the natural conclusion of a visible ideology and set of policies. The modern democrat ideology is based on a worldview that feudalism is superior, and Democrats are elite in their global magnanimity (defined as their virtuous self image).
Fast forward a decade+ later, and there is Joe Biden’s Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, explaining why it is better for the health of the planet if Americans lose their jobs, lose their economic sustainability, starve in feudal poverty, as the virtuous government ships all the dirty jobs to China and retains their clean pro-climate agenda. In Haaland’s defense, it should be noted that this has been the policy of Canada for quite a while. WATCH:

Why Are Thousands of Military-Age Chinese Men Suddenly “Migrating” Across Our Southern Border?
BY MICHAEL SNYDER
April 19, 2023
Vast numbers of Chinese citizens are illegally crossing our border with Mexico. The U.S. Border Patrol is able to apprehend some of them, but thanks to the Biden administration once they are processed most of them are given “notices to appear” and are then freely released into our communities. That means that they are running around without any supervision whatsoever.
As you will see in the videos that I have posted in this article, men make up the overwhelming majority of the Chinese citizens that are “migrating” across our southern border, and almost all of those men are of military age. In some cases, these men are paying human smugglers as much as $35,000 to get them into Texas. So either those men are independently wealthy, or someone else is providing that money. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t even realize that this is happening, because Fox News is the only major news network that is giving much attention to this crisis.
For years, many of us have been warning that the lack of security on our southern border is a major national security threat. Unfortunately, it could turn out to be a much larger threat than any of us ever imagined.
According to Fox News, U.S. officials are “seeing a 900% surge” in encounters with Chinese nationals at our southern border…
Footage taken by Fox News this week shows how Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are releasing busloads of Chinese nationals into the U.S. interior, just as the U.S.-Mexico border is seeing a 900% surge in encounters with migrants from the communist regime.
We have never witnessed anything like this before.
In 2022, a total of 1,987 Chinese nationals were apprehended along the southern border.
As of March 30th, a total of 4,293 Chinese nationals had already been apprehended along the southern border so far this year…
Already this year some 4293 Chinese migrants have been apprehended at the border.
That is more than double the 2022 total of 1987, according to data published by the Customs and Border Protection agency of the Department of Homeland Security.
We are being told that they are coming here because they want “American freedom”.
Okay, if that is true why didn’t we see similar numbers coming over in previous years?
Just as the U.S. and China are getting ready to fight a war, all of a sudden we are witnessing an exponential surge in Chinese nationals coming across our southern border.
Yeah, that doesn’t seem suspicious at all. And almost all of the Chinese nationals that are illegally entering this country are men. I want you to watch the following video very carefully…
Did you notice that all of the Chinese migrants in that footage are men? I did not see one single woman. And I did not see one single child. Don’t women and children want “American freedom” too? Something is not adding up.
If Chinese migrants are caught while they are attempting to enter the country illegally, U.S. authorities process them and then release them into our communities…
Two busloads of migrants were released to a non-governmental organization in Brownsville, Texas. CBP sources told Fox they are being released with notices to appear (NTA) because there are so many crossing and no more space to house them.
Migrants released with NTAs are given a court hearing for their immigration cases, which can take between four and seven years to resolve.
As U.S. Senator Josh Hawley has pointed out, the Biden administration is not even trying to enforce our immigration laws at this point.
Don’t get caught unprepared as things go south. Order a case of five life-saving antibiotics prescribed directly to you by board certified physicians. Use promo code “RUCKER10” for $10 off. Having an emergency supply of antibiotics is crucial before the crap hits the fan.
Every single day, more Chinese nationals are released, and they are free to go wherever they want…

Biden destroying everything he touches and the country is allowing it to happen. At the very least, he took an oath to uphold laws of the country. He’s violated the constitution at least 4 times.
