Having kids really tuned up my response to media involving kids. I just barely got through the first season of Broadchurch, and have no desire to watch any more.

This was the issue the one time we lost heat. Now the service is company replaces it every year regardless - it's a low cost part that can bring the whole system down.
Btw, it's "thermocouple" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple
I think your conversion is off. There's 4,184 joules per gram of TNT, not per ton (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent). Your calculation is off by six orders of magnitude. The first poster's calculation is correct.
What's interesting about the facility in the article is that it's not capturing carbon from fossil fuels: it's capturing CO2 generated from the fermentation of ethanol. That means the CO2 came from plants (corn), which is known as biogenic CO2. If low carbon electricity is used to capture biogenic CO2, the net result is a lowering of the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. That's in addition to the energy content of the ethanol, which could displace fossil fuels.
Carbon capture isn't the sole solution, but could be part of it.
In this case, the carbon is being captured is a concentrated stream resulting from ethanol fermentation (point source capture). It's more efficient than capturing carbon from the air (direct air capture) due to the much higher initial concentration.
I just checked their website (you can look at what they've reviewed without a membership, just not the ratings or reviews) - there are 43 reviews for Fisher & Paykel and 45 for Westinghouse.
I'm in US so can't speak more generally for Australian brands, but I have had good luck with CR (my library account gets me free access).
Fwiw, it looks fine using Voyager
Italian Americans putting gravy on pasta: 👉🕷️
Something about the painting almost makes it look as if it's shifting as I look at it. Very cool.
