Not used gas in years now, it's great. Heat pump didn't even cost that much really.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Great it works for you personally. It doesn't work for most of energy-intensive industrial processes.
Then we should probably reserve what we have for those processes rather than just burning it for heat.
Its all about energy. Why should not it work? In engineering you can combine many different plants for processing
Those shortages, combined with the effect of energy-related inflation on garment worker wages, will erode Bangladesh’s longstanding cost advantage over rival apparel factories elsewhere in the region.
Going to call this:
"Getting the renewablues."
Do they not watch the news? Oil is skyrocketing and it’s time to double down on fossil fuels.
Read the headline again....
Except that electricity is not being used for large scale industrial processes like firing cement, bricks, glass, producing steel from ore, ferrosilicon or nitrogen fertilizer, etc.
I am hoping that hydrogen can fill that gap. There is a lot wrong with it, but it can burn like gas and Europe has been building a bunch of infrastructure for it. I don't think it is suitable for consumers like they tried to push with hydrogen car ideas, but it seems like it would have its place with large electrolysis solar stations on industrial rooftops and compressors inside.
