Heat Source

August 22, 2023 by Nadine Gordon

 

I don’t really have a lot to say this week. But, I believe that I’ve come up with a simply ingenious idea.

If we set a flame to all of the political gas lighting going on in the world, we’d have an alternative heat source.

Or, we could just snuff out all of the hot air and there would no longer be a climate emergency.

The current sources of heat are fire, sun, object friction and electricity.

Gas lighting would make a fifth and very valid heat source around the globe.  Why let it all go to waste!

    I think you’re on to something. I was in Canada a few weeks ago and saw the price of gas. After doing the liters-to-gallons conversion, I think your country may need an alternative energy source. And we’d appreciate it if you piped some down to us.

      Oh… a belated welcome to Canada! I hope you enjoyed the stay!
      The world of gas prices is definitely crazy… taxes on taxes on taxes…
      And, then there’s the gaslighting taxes, of course! Lol
      Us Albertan’s would gladly export our gas your way….
      I do believe our Premier is working on things like that in our energy sector!
      I’m glad to see you back on the blogospere, Tippy!

        Yeah, the problem is the gas taxes. We have a lot of that down here, but I guess not as bad as in Canada and some other countries.

        Thanks, it’s good to be back. We took a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. Had a great time, but as they say, there’s no place like home.
