All the complexity of a gas engine, plus the cost of a battery. Just so you can use the range once or twice a year? What happens when you don't use the gas engine for months and then go to start it with gelled gas? You're trying to solve a problem that the article shows doesn't exist for 99%

Maybe not unpopular on Lemmy, but definitely is in real life.

He doesn't give the math of what he's spending now vs with a heat pump, and he doesn't say he CAN'T afford it, just that it will take too long for him to see the financial benefits. When others try to ask him about details, he doesn't respond.

The whole reason why we're in this mess is the full cost of carbon is not paid by current consumers used to cheap energy. People need to accept that their western standard of living will be reduced to match the correct cost of these comforts without taking a sort of "carbon loan" for the future generations to pay.

It's a very hard pill to swallow, I understand.

Sorry I thought everybody here understood personal sacrifices will need to be made in order to solve the climate change problem. Apparently not, we just like to blame corporations for selling us the things we demand (like gas heating)

The entire article is just an ad for a blog that doesn't exist yet... The irony is unbearable.

All I hear is complaining without any alternative candidate being proposed. You going to vote RFK? And you think he'll be better than Biden? Real life involves making decisions between 2 imperfect things. Biden is far from perfect but he is still the best candidate who is willing to actually run.

It says that's what he did in the first sentence of the article...

It's a lot of waste but they do this to prevent shipping damage and so they can stack them up higher
