The emissions to produce a single heating element off a factory line are probably a lot smaller than keeping a jug of water in your house hot by burning natural gas off and on all day every day forever

Nothing about this is entrapment....this cryptocurrency created by the FBI isn't any different from others. People are breaking the law in the same way in the crypto market every day, these people just got caught.
NexFundAI, as per information on the website, was marketed as redefining the "intersection between finance and artificial intelligence" and that its aim was to "create a cryptocurrency token that not only serves as a secure store of value but also acts as a catalyst for positive change in the world of AI."
Dude...hook, line, and sinker. FBI knows their target audience lol
This is probably incredibly delicious
Sure, but in those stats we're talking households making $100-$150K a year, who are not going to drop $27K on a bottle of whiskey lol
They also seem unlikely to shop at Costco
Obama tried to stop this. Trump reversed that policy
I think the biggest problem is that it's still only a concept with no realistic plan for implementation. Waymo has been on the roads where I live for years troubleshooting their self-driving concept. They've gotten better, but still cause problems regularly, like running red lights, stopping unpredictably, and getting stuck and not being able to figure out how to proceed. And Waymo seems significantly ahead of Tesla with this concept
What you quoted says the property was assessed at 100x its original value. The total taxes owed is a different number than the assessed value.
In Texas we have a variety of taxing entities that may overlap a property, city, county, school district, community college district, hospital district, municipal utility districts, etc. Each adopt different tax rates and have defined percentages of valuations they're allowed to tax. Point being, taxes owed do not scale linearly with assessed property valuations.

Lead pipes don't leach lead into the water when the water's properly treated. The problem is what happens when there's a hiccup in the water treatment process, which happens too often. This is going to be a very difficult process to complete in some very old, often impoverished neighborhoods.
Of note, I live in Texas, and we have very few lead pipes in the state, so you're going to need another excuse for these people's behavior.
In my case, a mix of fossil fuel and renewable resources that on the whole are significantly less carbon-intensive per unit of energy than straight up burning methane in my house
