But that’s no reason to run costly gas lines or have complex propane infrastructure solely for backup needs …I would submit that a simple, flexible, relatively inexpensive and highly independent backup source of heat allows a reasonably northern home to stay safe and livable for days at a time even during multi-day cold snaps: That would be a properly selected and installed woodstove. Imagine you could go shopping for electrical goods and appliances in the 1980's . Many solar installations,at least what I see here in Vermont, do not supply all of the electric demand for the homes. Houston always floods. ... $1,980 … The stoves and refrigerators Jowers refurbishes come from just about everyplace imaginable -- barns, ... the refrigerator was fitted with a new electrical cord,plugged in and "ithummed right up," Jowers recalls. And with all the problems associated with fracking, gas has probably gotten worse. The need for Yucca will be a thing of the past. Most subscribers in this chat are in a position to build near zero emission houses; a skill we’d be calling on now if it weren’t for fossil fuel companies outright buying politicians and using the same people who told us cigarettes don’t cause cancer to deny climate change. I live at sea level in Houston, Tx. It heats that section of the tiny attic (4/12 pitch) and produces massive icicles. Proponents have since the late 40’s had a pie-in-the-sky projection of it. It went from 18.9% to 0.6% in 40 years. Hope the best for you. The next steps I take will be to add a Pika Energy battery system for backup power . One and a half quart capacity. For winter-peaking utilities, demand typically peaks pre-dawn and early AM. Maybe not. Solar panels only produce energy as long as the sun is shining and they degrade over time and cleanliness of the panels. You both can be right! In the end though, unless supplemented by someone elses hard earned money (taxes), high ideals aren’t really supported by our traditional “low bid” system and patchwork energy codes. The fact is that it is really messy and and the dream of waste –> fuel is highly exaggerated. I didn’t say “To blame this entirely on the burning of fossil fuels” which accounts for about 50% but conserving energy is what people in this chat room can do. We will all die. SUBSCRIBE TO THE ENERGY VANGUARD BLOG AND NEWSLETTER! The CO2 could be pulled out of the atmosphere for say $300 per ton although you need to use renewables to do that otherwise you’d make 3 times more CO2 than you started with so let’s say we’ll never pull that CO2 out and simply sustain the damage it causes. Beautifully Restored Vintage Gas Stoves. Home Furniture Beaver Homes & Cottages Beauti-Tone. To see it, let’s take a look at the most recent energy flows diagram from the Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL). I do not agree with thisI do not agree with this assessment of nuclear. We’re now seeing coal disappear rapidly. The total source energy that went into electricity generation ten years earlier was 39.97 Quads, or about 5% higher than it was in 2018. IWow. Just as we were all forced to wear seat belts and have airbags for our own good, we shouldn’t be given the option unless they want to build a porch kitchen open on 3 sides more like where we’d bbq. If you take the 20 minutes necessary to watch the Milankovitch Cycles video I posted above you’ll have a far better understanding how much more complicated the climate change debate is. Found out later it is an overpressure feature (that sure gave me a warm fuzzy feeling-harr!) Our inventory of Unrestored Antique Stoves always changes. If that happens, you think that you’d really be better with natural gas heat rather than electric??? Maybe with the death of one of the Koch brothers their funding of opposition to wind and solar will be decreased. I’ve seen close people near me die. I’m glad people are starting to see this. Buzz, if you click through to the actual article I linked to in my comment, you’ll see that the reason for the decrease was falling gas prices, not lower demand. I thought about noting that my comment didn’t apply to the duct system but didn’t want to make things too complicated here. It can be done effectively, without exotic building material and at an reasonable $$ per sq ft cost. My HVAC guy would have made more $$ selling me a new all electric system but even he realized that the end user will not be happy. Or in my younger days – what some would refer to as a Rube Goldberg system……. Gas Fires have come of age. GLOBAL CHANGE RESEARCH PROGRAM We cannot afford the time lagWe cannot afford the time lag to get nuclear operation. Twice in the last 6 years w/ have been w/o electricity in the dead of winter. This is a complex issue and there’s a lot to know but unless you’ve driven an electric car extensively, you’ll never know the benefits on the assumption that you’re open minded enough to embrace the future. Sealed unit my butt! Result is super well financed disinformation camgaign designed to do one thing; sew doubt. Metters Electric Stoves were being produced in the 1930s, but were not serious competitors for gas stove until around the 1950s. Our Indoor/Outdoor Electric Lighted Maple Trees add brilliant seasonal style anywhere. Toyota recently opened up their patents on what could be the best hybrid drive because they’re obsolete. http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/weekinreview/warm1930.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1GetC4llgB6Pdi02t4xw99ptutXNRM8BJ7aUsp94EKKmaRSGOPaFVrwoQ, https://www.americanexperiment.org/2019/08/argus-leader-sioux-falls-landfill-tightens-rules-minnesota-dumps-dozens-wind-turbine-blades/?fbclid=IwAR32bM77XsKCEZNNCYfjh–FcW7qBlL8qkZ-3OybRDKf8SZsDuxtYcLp2WY, https://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/piles-peer-reviewed-research-show-how-bad-cooking-gas-your-health.html, http://thehtrc.com/2019/monday-musings-electrify-this, Don’t Confuse Design Temperature With Degree Days. This 100 year example I use here is because Hurricane Harvey flooding was considered an 800 year flood event. Dana, yes, you’re right. Electric and gas freestanding ranges, as well as flattop and gas wall-oven units all bore the Speed Queen name at one point. Over the years we have found the best value for money and the most reliable products on the market. It’s up to just over 11 cents in 2019. Then the 16 year olds of the world will lead a global change to kill off a quarter or more of the population. Lesson learned. A south-facing solar array peaks in late morning and slopes down from there, whereas peak demand (for summer-peaking utilities) occurs in late afternoon and early evening. Thanks for your response to my comment. Quite a discussion. Gulf is more insulated for now. They used 56kw in September with 4 bathrooms, dishwasher, washing machine, 2 occupants. Coal, the dirtiest fuel we use, accounted for 32% of the fuel used in generating electricity. A 600-1000 cfm air handler on a mid-static or higher duct system would usually drive more outdoor air leakage than the combustion air draw for the furnace supplying the heat. Many of the hillsides in the central part of my state are littered with wind turbines and solar panels are even a bigger eyesore. Does the black wire with red lines go to red on stove? We have provided this service to try to help them to date their major appliances (fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, etc.) upvc windows. Check out this 48V Cherry Red Electric Club Car Precedent Electric Golf Cart w/ Rear Flip Seat! Your individual personal experience is pretty limited compared to the combined knowledge of the entire global scientific community. I think the depressurization argument has little practical merit. Is the limitation the area needed for the solar panels or the cost of construction or are you thinking of apartment units that don’t have the room for solar panels? Electric cars may drive battery prices down, but unless and until retail electric rate structures change, there’s little incentive for a grid-tied home to invest in storage at any cost.
