He's being rhetorical and satirical to make a point. The liberals want to do away with fossil fuels entirely including all gasoline cars and force the country onto electric only with $140 - $600 billion stimulus programs for green energy. So what's next in getting rid of CO2? Cows produce huge amounts. So let's get rid of eating meat. Meanwhile, we all lose our freedom of choice. All our money will be in the hands of power-hungry politicians who want to control our lives. They cancelled the Canadian XL pipeline.
This is the slippery slope when we allowed them to force on us low-flow showerheads, low volume toilet flushes, and LED bulbs. 2nd amendment supporters know about the slippery slope as well which is why they want no restrictions with their freedoms either. Once you give the government an inch, they take a yard. Give them a millimeter and they take a whole meter for our Canadian friends.
He's not being satirical, gimme a break. He is in dead earnest. Any perceptive person can tell when someone is being sarcastic and he most certainly was not.
And cows do not produce CO2 (a little, true). They burp lots of methane, a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2. If you do not understand this stuff maybe you should not talk about it. And anyway reducing beef consumption does not mean not eating meat.
What's wrong with LED bulbs? I think they are great. The light quality is excellent, they come on right away, they last forever, they save energy and therefore money, and the price has come down a lot. I have estimated that having LEDs in our kitchen's 7 ceiling lights saves us $180 a year over incandescents.
