Comments by "Matthew Nirenberg" (@matthewnirenberg) on "The REAL reason behind The Potential GAS STOVE BAN" video.

All that'll achieve is a complete and utter prohibition on all travel. If such a ban were implemented, it'd apply to all private aircraft (even small bush planes) and all boats (no matter how small). Private yachts aren't the problem, remember that all sailing catamarans that are bluewater (ocean) rated (required or its illegal to leave national boundaries) are considered yachts under law. Sailing catamarans aren't harming the environment and remain in service (albeit usually with multiple owners) for 30+yrs. As for limiting the rich to only one home with not more than five bedrooms, two issues arise: 1. What is they have a large family (say 8-14 kids), why can't everyone have a bedroom 2. What is rich? I ask this because the definition of "rich" always has an ever reducing threshold. Once the real rich leave a country, the "rich" get defined as rich; this repeats until the person earning $80,000 before tax is defined as "rich". What's wrong with someone being able to own more than one home or a private yacht? Jealously is very unbecoming and only ever a destructive thing. Jealously and this "the rich this, the rich that" is exactly the bullshit that's single-handedly destroyed Australia and made the place unlivable. My family aren't rich (pre-tax income $85,000) but because the definition of "rich" keeps dropping, we suddenly got categorised as "rich" simply because we own our own home (3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom (bathroom + toilet room)), regardless that three generations are living in it as thanks to housing being sold to foreign businesses, housing is both unavailable and unaffordable for locals. Its a well established fact that banning things doesn't work within a country. Banning foreign businesses from coming in and buying everything so they can exploit the visa system would dramatically help.

@sdrc92126 Time is the issue but I'd love to hear how you're gonna walk across oceans or how you think someone in Australia is going to walk across oceans...

@sdrc92126 if you studied the ice cores we're finishing the current ice age. The next one is 500,000yrs away. Hence we need boats and planes.

@MajorSam4321 your ignorance to reality is amazing. All you'd achieve is to make your own life as a common person harder. The rich would move away and continue life whilst you lose everything as the jobs and tax money disappears. If you actually read my comments fully instead of glancing at them your realise that all you'll achieve is that you get considered to be the "rich" and that your ability to leave a country would be gone.

@tonylam9548 Spot on. I would also add that for people who want to both travel the world and who want a more affordable alternative to a home, sailing catamarans are a great option (~$200k second hand). They're considered a yacht under law as they have to be bluewater rated to be used internationally yet most people in this thread seem to ignore the fact that what they want to do will only hurt them. Sadly these people are a product of a crap education system as they don't understand business, finance, economics or the consequences of high taxation and anti-rich laws.

@blaqbastion1501 My point is that in reality the unintended consequences will cover any bluewater vessel as the laws only screw we normal people. I only mentioned it as most people don't realise that a yacht is any bluewater rated vessel and thus any ban or tax would apply to more than just the rich on luxury / mega yachts as politicians loosely / poorly word everything.

They don't care. They already do both. They ban what they can and the things they don't think can be banned outright, they price people out of then ban. They don't need to learn anything. What rock have you been sleeping under? They've been doing this for 50yrs!

Sounds like dangerous equipment that needs repair urgently. Properly installed gas appliances that aren't leaking and that are operating properly don't affect asthma, nor do they smell.

Bullshit. Electricity does more environmental harm and causes more fires than gas.

@evolutionxbox How the f*** is it even possible? Houses are limited to 63A on normal power, getting three phase installed will cost over $100,000 as they have to dig up the road to install it underground by law - it will also take up to a year for them to install it. How are you going to run 4-6 pots, the oven and the microwave (all electric) when an induction cooktop pulls 32A with two high "burners" on, the oven pulls 20A and the microwave pulls 20A whilst the TV, computers, a NAS, network and lights are running? That's basically 100A required! That's why I use a gas stove and a gas oven. If they ban gas, I'll just use a woodstove and oven for "cultural reasons" or just BBQ with a cooking firepit everyday.

And use what? Electricity is dirty and there is no such thing as "green energy" where a grid is involved. What good is an electric cooktop? You need a flame for proper cooking, plus how else are you going to cook when the power is out? In Australia, old homes are permitted 80Amps of power from the street until any work needs to be done at the switchboard (where meter is installed) at which point the new 63A restriction applies, new homes are only permitted 63A. Electric cooktops run at 32A with only two high "burners" (read: elements) running. How the hell does one run at the same time, 4-6 pots, the stove and the microwave on electricity? You can't. This is why gas stoves and ovens are essential. Most houses commonly use 40A just for the computers, networking and TV's, etc. collectively. Sure some places permit you to get three phase power to your house but that can take up to a year to be installed and the install will cost over $100,000 as they'll have to dig up the road and your property as three phase must be installed underground in Australia. Oh and Climate Change isn't real. Sure the climate changes but if you look at the last 60,000 yrs of temperature data, we're in one of the coolest periods ever. The 1200-1600 was on average 10-15 degrees Celsius hotter than current times.

@jesseh998 Sounds like you didn't read, or that you skimmed over my comment. I explain why its not possible to use electric cooktops in place of gas. If you actually read my comment you'd know that even if people wanted to use electric, its impossible as suitable power isn't an option and having three phase installed is unaffordable ($100,000+). Its a fact that you can't run 4 - 6 pots on high (96A), an electric oven on high (20A), a microwave on high (20A) plus your normal home equipment/appliances (TV, audio, computer, network, lights, rangehood, etc.) without three phase power.

@MadHeadzOz I'm not making assumptions. The definition of "rich" reduces every bloody year. Its 7 people and yeah two earning a collective $85,000 before tax - for reasons I won't go into here, none of us qualify for any welfare, plus there's plenty more in need of it than us so it's never even been a thought even though we're all citizens since birth. I'm not spinning any story, I'm stating the facts of my life. I'm not whinging about it but mentioning it as too few people understand how politics of envy and the "the rich are bad" mentality only affects we the average person, never the actual rich. As for knowing how these bans would work - its easy, just look at the EU. They did it but guess who is exempt? The rich. The other point I was trying to make regarding boats is that bans will only affect the average person, the rich will always get around it or simply move somewhere else. I agree with you that the majority of aussie's are absolutely braindead when it comes to politics - I hate how they vote because of one policy without knowing the entire party platform; unfortunately that's the problem of them not giving a damn and having mandatory voting with fines for failing to vote. Most people have no clue about budgets or not spending all their money because they never get taught finance and budgeting at school. They also don't get taught how to do their taxes - they simply get told to go and pay an accountant even though their tax is generally extremely simple. Yes, people need to be responsible for themselves but over the last 30yrs the majority have found it easier to just blame everyone else than have any self responsibility.

Woah! Sorry, can't let facts get in the way of the WEF & UN's agenda. Its like all the BS over the last few years about the 'thing'. Control the narrative 100%, don't permit any questioning, gaslight everyone and only saw that the govt way is wonderful. Congrats on realising that you live in a dictatorship!

Except that heat pumps don't work especially once everyone in a small area has one. The problem is that the politicians and the lefties have zero clue about engineering or about why those of us who are engineers say things won't work, but they push on ahead like they know better. Its typical. The end of the world and life as we know it is upon us. This is our fall of Rome. There won't be anything left. This is a perfect example of why the lefties and masses (one in the same) should be ignored.

The real problem you have is that your equipment is dangerously defective. Properly running gas appliances do NOT affect asthma and aren't dangerous. As for benzene causing cancer - that's utter BS. Sure it'll increase the chance of cancer by ~0.0000015% but so will using a mobile phone. The act of sitting up in bed in the morning can cause a heart attack, going outside will put you at risk of getting run over. Life is dangerous and everything can cause cancer, don't let the fear of cancer or harm stop you from living life.

@gail1249 You're deluded and shilling people to use electricity for everything which isn't even possible as that would require every house / apartment to be changed to three phase and overall supply to quadruple. Gas is perfectly safe. It has nothing to do with accepting change or not, it has nothing to do with opinion. One of two things are happening, either your equipment is defective (your furnace and ducts) or you're lying. Gas being burnt in appliances that are in proper condition is perfectly safe - that's literally what science says. If your claim of "since I limited use of my furnace my asthma symptoms [have] greatly improved" is true then that 100% confirms that your ducts to and from your furnace are the problem - they're full of dust - ducts are meant to be professionally cleaned at least once a year. Gas isn't going anywhere for a very long time. Sure if you want to waste money and ignore the fact that "correlation doesn't equal causation", no one stops you from changing to electric aside from the excessive cost of doing so. The new "articles" about gas being bad were literally funded by the WEF to further their agenda and to make them money as several of the most important members of the WEF are the induction cooktop manufacturers. Its funny how this "research" suddenly appeared the moment that the induction cooktop manufacturers reported being unable to sell their products and the moment the government decided that they'd rather export their gas for a higher rate than if used locally. How convenient. The WEF are the same people who funded "research" that says that never leaving your house is healthy and that going outside causes cancer to justify lockdowns in Australia, only to then magically bring out "research" that says staying home causes cancer the moment the government wanted people to go out and spend money. The WEF are also the same people who said that food prepared at home causes cancer and that food at restaurants doesn't as its prepared differently. That's utter BS but its official "research". Don't fall for the hype and fear mongering - "science" has zero reputability unless its funded by truly impartial people in modern times. If anyone funding it has an agenda, they'll force the "research" to find what they want or they pull the funding; so guess what, the research says what they need it to, to keep the funding. There are literally huge court cases in Australia about this exact situation.

@gail1249 If you read what I wrote, get your ducts cleaned - they're full of dust. No ones opinion negates facts. Its got nothing to do with democracy or not. The problem is you spreading lies in a public forum!

@redpillnibbler4423 What's that got to do with anything. The govt announced the ban after making it law. The people never get or got a say. Thanks to the consolidation of power that happened during the '2020 thing' under emergency powers, there's isn't any way for the people to have a say. The law only gets applied as it suits the government and the elections permit electoral fraud, specifically parties that claim to be against another party whilst secretly being run by and support that exact party whilst deceiving the people. The gas ban prevents new builds from being connected to gas and in 2030 an outright ban on gas for everyone.

@patriciafisher1170 As far as I know, its only homes, apartments and factories. Portable gas appliances, caravans and motorhomes are currently unaffected however they might be closer to 2030.

Honestly, its both heat and food. Only the rich will have either. The masses will be freezing, starving, eating bugs and going braindead from not eating red meat.

Call it a BBQ or for "cultural reasons". To hell with the govt trying to ban them.
