How hot does a 50-watt incandescent lightbulb get? That's what an extra 50 watts of wasted power will feel like.

  My house is cold, the extra heat is welcome here. I only have electric heat.

    Unless you live in the tropics, electric heat is borderline unconscionable with regards to climate change.

      I use solar power. Also, in nearby San Jose, California, they have banned NG in all new construction except commercial or multi family residences taller than 3 stories.

      what's the conscionable alternative?
      • minitoar 6y ago
        Wear a sweater.

      Why is that? Your electricity might be from renewable resources. Or a non-renewable that is more efficient in total than using gas directly.

        My choices are grid, solar, propane. I only use propane as emergency power backup.
