I was going through this list after Congressman Massie grilled Pete Buttigieg. 1. Over the last 10 years, refrigerators use about 1/2 as much electricity as they've switched to variable (digital inverter) compressors. 2. Over the last 10 years, HVAC systems use about 1/2 as much LockedRotorAmps (not even considering Mini Splits with variable compressors, even more efficient) 3. Washers and Dryers are more efficient; as they also switched to digital inverter motors. 4. Hot water heaters are twice as efficient as 20 years ago, especially with smart controllers, and then Heat Pump hot water heaters are 2x as efficient as those. 5. Ovens are more efficient with convection circulating fans 6. Moving from ~30 incandescent ~100w bulbs to LEDs in the average house reduces demand 97%; Similar can be said about TVs moving from Cathode Ray tubes to Fluorescent / Plasma to LED; Congressman Massie left a huge door open in line of questioning; because he is an early adopter with both Solar and an EV at his house; The answer Buttigieg could have given was that the Inflation Reduction Act will help strengthen our grid by incentivizing more Americans to both reduce their demand, and potentially strengthen our grid as Massie has done himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avi9iBC8opU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avi9iBC8opU
