I fear I must tell you you didn't make a difference and it's still up to policymakers (and people who elect them) to enact necessary changes to reduce carbon emissions.

Twitter has also banned lots of left wing activist accounts, maybe we can agree that he has demonstrated that he's in favor of some free speech but not of free other speech?

That's because your country chose to make themselves completely reliant on a crazy mass murderer 3 countries over for its electricity production. But hey, it was cheaper (but not that much) than building solar and wind for a few decade

My point was that replacing an existing central gas posered water circulation heater with electric heating is easy, cheap and fast (operating it might be more expensive, or cheaper depending on electricity prices). It's not "Repla

Of course that's more efficient but won't matter (from an environmental perspective, might still make economic sense) in a few years when all electricity comes from carbon free sources. If this won't be the case then heating

The average home can use a water kettle and a gaming PC at the same time, you are making some super rare edge cases seem like the norm. I've seen lots of old buildings and none was wired so inadequately that you couldn't heat it e

These $15 space heaters have thermostats, you set a temperature and they heat the room until that temperature is reached. I'm sure you can get a $50 version that speaks smart home protocols of your choice so you can program schedules i

What's the efficiency of a 2kW electric heater? It's 100%, which is not terrible. If the electricity production of your country sucks, that should be fixed for other reasons than heating.

The efficiency of electricity production has no influence on the amount of work it takes to convert heating from gas to electric. Why would you want to use fossil fuels to generate electricity anyway nowadays? I've spent several months

It is, but why would we want to burn gas and invest in gas infrastructure instead of carbon free technology? Electric heating works great for any future technology we end up using.

I completely agree with you, but if we want to support apps to use APIs we have to have some sort of access flow to do so! I'm not sure what a better UX for those flow would look like.

"The actual greenhouse gas emissions depend on the energy mix used for charging the batteries, but as long as we do not have abundant climate-neutral energy, it makes sense to save energy by driving at lower speeds." This argument
