>>In the grand scheme of things those heaters probably don't make much of a dent in the overall energy consumption (but who knows), I think we should ban them though as it really sends the wrong signal.
So instead of actually solving problems that waste the most energy, we should virtue signal instead? ban something because 'it sends the wrong message', not because it is an actual problem?
- throwoutway 5y agoOnce you notice virtue signaling, it’s everywhere!
- modo_mario 5y agoHow is it virtue signalling tho? These heaters do waste a lot. I find it a hard argument tackle other sources and not this is because they are used less. It's like putting emission regulations on most cars except SUV's only because they're less common in Europe.
- grujicd 5y agoHow it is not virtue signaling when OP literally said "sends the wrong signal.". Can't be more clear than that. How many of these heaters are in a typical city? In which period of the year are they turned on? Total is probably mimiscule compared to gas used for heating or cooking.
