New legislation allows electric companies to CONTROL your smart THERMOSTAT

It’s the hottest day of the year, the kind where the air feels thick enough to chew, and your home is your last refuge from the scorching sun. You reach for the thermostat, desperate for relief — only to find it locked. A cold, digital message glares back at you: "Energy Emergency. Adjustments Not Allowed." This is happening right now in Colorado, Texas, and — if Ohio’s latest bill passes — soon in your state too. The question isn’t if utility companies will seize control of your home’s climate, but when. And once they do, what’s next? Your fridge? Your lights? Your ability to cook dinner? Welcome to the brave new world of energy rationing, where corporate and government collusion doesn’t just spy on you — it dictates how you live, all under the guise of "saving the grid." The practicality of this boils down to governments needing to prioritize AI energy consumption needs for "national security" reasons. Future governments could force you to ration electricity because of "climate change." In the end, this isn’t about reliability or affordability. It’s about control. The same elites pushing the Great Reset, digital IDs, and central bank currencies are now testing how far they can stretch their fingers into your home. And if history is any indicator, what starts as "voluntary" today becomes mandatory tomorrow — with penalties for those who resist. The energy crisis is a manufactured one, a trojan horse for a future where your comfort, your choices, and even your survival are held hostage by unelected bureaucrats and their corporate overlords. Key points:
  • "Voluntary" programs are the thin edge of the wedge — Ohio’s HB 427 and Colorado’s AC Rewards show how utility companies are normalizing remote control of home thermostats, with financial incentives masking the loss of autonomy.
  • Energy "emergencies" are manufactured crises — Grid strain is real, but solutions like blackouts and thermostat lockdowns are political tools, not technical necessities. The push for "smart grids" aligns with the Great Reset’s goal of centralized control over resources.
  • This is already happening — 22,000 Coloradans were locked out of their thermostats in 90 F heat, with no override possible. Texas and California have similar programs, proving this is a national blueprint, not an isolated incident.
  • The endgame is rationing — and worse. Once utilities can dictate your thermostat, what’s to stop them from controlling your EV charging, water heater, or even your stove? The infrastructure for total energy surveillance is being built right now.
  • The real solution? Decentralization. Off-grid energy, solar batteries, and non-smart appliances are the last bastions of freedom. The elites hate this because it makes you ungovernable.
  • Follow the money — Xcel Energy and other utilities profit from "demand response" programs while shifting blame to consumers. Meanwhile, AI data centers and military installations guzzle power without restriction.

The "voluntary" trap: How they’ll trick you into surrendering control

Ohio Rep. Roy Klopfenstein, a Republican, is selling House Bill 427 as a win-win: Customers get cash incentives, and the grid stays stable. Sounds reasonable, right? Wrong. This is exactly how freedom dies — not with a bang, but with a rebate check and a terms-of-service agreement. Let’s break down the deception:
  • "You can opt out!" — Sure, for now. But in Colorado, customers who thought they could override their thermostats during the "energy emergency" found themselves locked out entirely. Xcel Energy’s Emmett Romine admitted this was the first time in six years the override function was disabled. So much for "voluntary."
  • "It’s just for peak demand!" — Peak demand today, permanent control tomorrow. California’s rolling blackouts started as "emergency measures." Now they’re a way of life. Once the infrastructure is in place, the rules will tighten.
  • "You’ll save money!" — A one-time $100 credit is a pittance compared to the long-term cost of surrendering autonomy. What happens when the "incentives" dry up, but the control remains? Ask the Germans how their "green energy transition" worked out—skyrocketing bills and rationed heat.
This isn’t about saving you money. It’s about conditioning compliance. The elites know that if they can normalize remote control of your thermostat, they can normalize remote control of everything else. Your car. Your fridge. Your lights. Your ability to live comfortably in your own home. And make no mistake: This is a test. Ohio isn’t an outlier — it’s a proving ground. Texas has had similar programs for years. California’s utilities already shut off power to millions during "high-risk" weather. The pattern is clear: First they ask. Then they demand. Then they enforce.

The endgame: When "energy emergencies" become permanent

Now fast-forward five years. The grid is fully "modernized" — meaning every appliance in your home is connected, monitored, and controllable by your utility company. A heat wave hits. The government declares an "energy state of emergency." Suddenly:
  • Your thermostat is locked at 85 F.
  • Your EV won’t charge because the grid needs to "prioritize critical infrastructure."
  • Your fridge cycles on and off to "reduce load," spoiling your food.
  • Your water heater is disabled, leaving you with cold showers.
You call to complain. The customer service rep reads from a script: "This is for the greater good. The climate crisis requires shared sacrifice." Or, "For national security reasons, energy must be rationed to prioritize AI energy needs." Sound far-fetched? It’s already happening in Europe. In 2022, UK households were told to avoid using ovens during peak hours. Germany’s industry is collapsing because factories can’t get reliable power. And in the U.S., Texas and California are the canaries in the coal mine — where "voluntary" blackouts have become mandatory survival tests. The worst part? You’ll be blamed for it. When the grid fails, they’ll call you selfish for wanting AC. They’ll shame you for daring to live comfortably. And if you resist? They’ll cut you off entirely.
