Late Stage Capitalism

The gwp of propane is like 3 to 8 over 20 years with methane aka natgas is around 86 mainly due to non-combusted natgas. Which combusted natgas has a gwp of around 5 max if that I think it's actually around a 1 or a 3 because burning natgas/methane is less harmful than just spewing it out as a gas. I think it has something to do with he conversion to c02.

Don't hate me hate the epa and science and physics. Hate the fact that from Boston to the tip of Michigan is like 2 tanks of gas vs charging every county for an hour, is a reality because we haven't made electric as good as gas is energy wise. Yes pollution sucks I get that, I'm not for fuck the earth I want to have this planet going long after I'm gone too, I just don't ignore the amount of energy that can be used from different resources and effectively with realistic equipment that is affordable to the everyday civilian consumer. A minisplit is still using a refrigerant. Most heaters are using natgas. Most cars are still gasoline or hybrid which I'm more in favor of vs full electric. The engines that shut off when you're idling in traffic, I love those, those are my all time favorite.

Idk, it also depends where you live. Like in Virginia electricity is fucking expensive. In Alaska it makes more sense to run a natgas heater. In rural areas oil is used. Campgrounds use propane. It's not like things aren't worth using. Like in the consistently hotter areas of the country it makes sense to have electric tankless hot water heaters for showers and have electric heating systems or space heaters for the potential of snow on areas that will most likely never see it or if they do it's the areas like California, Texas, Florida areas that declare snow emergencies for 2" where New England a snow emergency is like the first 5 hours of the day is snow or shovelling snow.

So it does vary by your geographical location on this planet on what your needs are going to be but the statement of if I pay my bills I should be able to use my utilities however I want remains. You all should be able to use your equipment you purchased however you want to with out giving a shit about the person next to you and that's okay. You paid you should get to use it. That's why the boomers do what they do it's not entitlement from nothing they actually show that if you're doing something the right way like paying your bills and paying for what you own you are entitled to be able to use what you own and pay for however you want. I could sell my ac too and never use it again because I paid for it it's mine, I pay the bill to run it I can do whatever I want with it within reason. I can't throw my ac off my balcony but if I'm hot at 3am and it's 93°f in the middle of a heatwave, I'm shooting that shit down to 68°f.

Like I run my ac 1 hour on 2 hours off because its not central (closed loop/recovers the refrigerant in a closed cycle, loud as hell though, I grew up with one I fucking hated the noise it was on the roof too, my neighbors have one and I fuckin hate it, every year I wish it would collapse so they could get a noiseless mini split cassette) I'd have to have it reloaded with more refrigerant and eventuality I would just get sick from all the dry cool air.

I also don't want my electric bill to be too much. So I switch off between cooling the house and using the windows and fans. I have an electric range oven.

Again, I'm with energy efficiency and saving the planet but if you want to survive in certain areas of the planet and not hate your fuckin' self you need what is the most effective not the least polluting.
