If gas cookers are discouraged or banned, people will buy electric cookers and there is serious concern is some quarters about the ability of Chinese manufacturers to manipulate “smart” appliances without the knowledge of the owner.]]></description>

It’s encouraging to see Bermuda focusing not just on clean energy, but also on affordability and resilience—especially given the challenges of limited land and reliance on imports. Regional collaboration through forums like CREF seems key, as shared solutions and lessons can really accelerate progress for island economies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#039;t believe that this government is still drinking the climate Kool-aid. They are investing in multiple problems later down the road. Falling for this renewable energy bull. Fossil fuel is still the best option. This government just follows the narrative, they are not leaders just followers with no common sense. We are in trouble!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another useless taxpayer-funded trip. Did the Minister mention that Bermuda has the highest electricity rate in the world? Crickets on that!  

Did she mention that the UK&#039;s Net Zero plan is a failure and drove up electricity rates? Green Germany has the 6th highest rate in the world. Subtract #1 Bermuda and #4 Cayman Islands, Germany is #4 in the world. Green UK is #8 in the world,  #6 excluding Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

Did the Minister mention the seven or so RMI-recommended Chinese electric buses that were taken off the road for repairs when they got wet? 

Did she mention that the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) is heavily connected to China, with a large staff in China and a Board member connected to the CCP? 

Did she mention Aruba&#039;s failed plan to go 100% renewable by 2020? The plan where RMI did the consulting and never mentioned the failure in RMI&#039;s annual reports.

Did she mention that the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) pushed a debunked study on gas stoves to support banning gas stoves? That a US congressman called RMI out on this? 

RMI admits their report does not demonstrate relationship between gas stoves and asthma - American Gas Association Jan 13, 2023
Washington, D.C. – RMI today finally admitted that the paper does not demonstrate a causal relationship between gas stove use and asthma. In a statement, they confirm that the report ‘does not assume or estimate a causal relationship’ between childhood asthma and natural gas stoves. Organizations that are making these allegations are relying on reports that did not test natural gas stoves and have ignored research that found no association between gas stoves and asthma. For an issue as important and personal as children’s health, sound science matters. A 2022 study by GTI Energy, which actually tested gas and electric stoves in a lab showed no difference in their particulate emissions, but it did show what and how you cook matters.”

Republican Congressman exposes China-linked group&#039;s push to ban gas stoves - Newsbreak 2023-02-28
Republican Congressman Bill Huizenga of Michigan has expressed concerns over the Department of Energy&#039;s (DOE) collaboration with a Chinese-linked organization that has been pushing for the ban of gas stoves. Huizenga, who is the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee&#039;s oversight subcommittee, wrote to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm expressing his concerns, noting that the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) had received &quot;elevated access&quot; from the Biden administration since it took office. RMI has a significant connection with the Chinese government and has been spearheading efforts to ban gas stoves.

Nope, those minor things always get overlooked.......]]></description>
