All this does is guarantee a Trump win. The right aren't staying home. They're voting.

Ffs grow a backbone.

The Tories are going to attack you. They're your opposition, it's their job.

Decide your position and then defend it. Everyone hates this weasely politics.

Heat pumps are efficient at very low temperatures now, and are suitable for the vast majority of homes.

However, in the literal Arctic you probably will need an additional heat source. This could be resistive electric, but tbh so few people live that far north that I'd be fine with them using fossil fuels. Their emissions would be a rounding error on a global scale.

If we want to completely ban fossil fuels then biomass could be another option for the Arctic in winter.

It's not renewable but it is fossil free.

Americans make the worst tea. Cold and salty.

You can use it in the cloud or fully self-host on your own hardware if you want. (Assuming your ISP allows this)

Yes, this is vitally important. Switching from petrol to EVs will be a net negative for the environment if all that energy comes from burning coal.

They have to clean up their grid, which unfortunately isn't happening at the moment. They're building new coal plants.

Well, that's not ideal, but the oil and gas platforms have to be powered by something. They'll exist either way, but without these turbines they'd be powered by oil and gas.

Power demand is power demand. If we get all precious about who can use our wind power, they're not just gonna go "ok, I guess we'll shut down these oil rigs" 🤷‍♂️
