Back in 2015, on a Heavenly ski lift, I told a proud Trumper that it really didn't matter what I thought of him because I was sure his granddaughters' comments would have more impact.
"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.
That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.
Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

That was this many days old when I realized that if I needed to tell somebody they might not want to say something because it might make him sound like a racist that actually, they may be a racist.

Less than 0.50% of land needed for 100% solar. In contrast, it's not uncommon for urban areas to dedicate over 50% of land to automobiles. In my own community 50% of GHG emissions come from transportation.
One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.
