@$60k+ Market size is small.

Many consider EV’s but even
Tesla’s stripped model 3 @ $37k is not appealing.
Battery costs are dropping. EV’s are simpler. Do car companies sell at high margins due to novelty & brand name?

My Model Y, LR AWD was $30K after tax credits. No more for a while👎

Recently installed a heat pump.

In Massachusetts it’s more cost effective than natural gas @. <40 deg F. Its not typically used for central heat if natural gas available. Heating Efficiency jumps for October/November. Heat pump picks up again March, April and May.

Natural gas midwinter only.

😂 since 1968 Alaska vote Republican. The state is as Ruby red as it gets. It’s NEVER been purple. Alaska is as responsible for the current mess as any southern state.
There’s no need for Alaska to vote. They may as well mail in their electoral votes, paid for by the corrupt oil firms.

By every definition and based on past history NC is GOP / MAGA state.

Your congressmen supported 🍊💩 over the past decade. They are the cause of current events.

Over the last 53 years, across 14 presidential elections, NC voted red 11 times.
Swing state, No❗️

GHGs?

Reducing atmospheric CO2 is a simple atmospheric adsorption process. It can be extracted as a gas or converted to a useful compound. (O2, cement, gasoline, etc).
Shell has been doing it for a decade.
All the major oil firms have one process or another .

Money drives behavior. Over the past 2 years I went green . Solar, e HWH, heat pump & EV. Why? Save $6,200/yr in energy cost. Payback: 4.5 years. ROI: 18%. Reduced CO2 footprint , 40k pounds. I’m not free from all external energy. I still must use $900/yr for CH4, winter heat only.

Emissions matter - no matter the source. Emissions from automotive & big oil began in 1890. It’s still in the air.
Since 1960 animals slaughter/yr has increased from 10 to 80 billion. Chickens are slaughtered by the trillions/year.
Early emissions are gone.

There are many of sources of methane besides oil wells. Wet lands, few billion cattle, pigs and chickens emit their share.
At the moment we are doing a little across a wide spectrum of issues.
If we want to make headway focus on the top emissions and reduce 90%.

Thanks to Biden’s 2023 IRA bill, installed green tech to my 2 story 3 BR home.
-With solar, power cost, $0.
-With EV, gasoline cost, $0
-With heat pump cut heating cost by 90%.

Green Tech has performed greater than expectations.

Cost of installation, break even January 2028.
ROI 18%

IT WORKS !

Warning: All interested in heat pumps.
Some states offer rebates when installing green tech. To qualify proper documentation is required. Contractors LIE about providing legal paperwork.
I’m a victim of lies. Fortunately I was eventually able to validate the installation is energy efficient. 👍🤪

The only time humanity will be safe from 🍊💩 is when his obituary is published.
Yesterday’s sweep is a small battle. He still holds near absolute power.

Our situation is similar to the French revulsion before Antoinette lost her head . In the months ahead we must prepare the final eventuality.

Wonder why so many need SNAP to service?
This is one example. The starting teachers salaries in many states are near poverty level.
It’s not possible to live on these salaries. Many are forced to work second and third jobs to survive. If they have children’s their royal screwed.
THEY NEED SNAP!

Temperatures are quickly dropping across the country. In addition to rising food and power prices the increasing cost of heat will soon be piled on top🤬.
How many will go cold or freeze to death this winter?
If your impacted REACH OUT, ask for help!

Converting from a 10 yo central AC compressor to a modern cold climate heat pump has reduced power consumption in 1/2.
With solar and 100% net metering I have more power credits I can use for either driving or winter heat. Credits will be used in its most efficient manner to save $$$👍
October 20, 2025 at 8:52 PM
Monthly hookup? I assume connection fee. Mine is $10/month. Due to power credits my utility owes me $509 or 1.6 mwh.
I can use this to drive, heat hot water/home .. for free .
I have a heated pool & HVAC system. Home power consumption is average… but produce more than I use.

Battery tech & costs improve continuously. This affects both homes & EV’s . Today batteries are ‘good’ enough for economic use. Future EV battery cost will drop dramatically. Massachusetts gives 100% solar credits. With a reliable grid batteries not needed. 3 years electricity costs -$zero.

Trump is paid $billions by big oil to shut down solar & green tech.
Over past 2 years added solar, eHWH, heat pump & EV,
Cost for electricity: $0
Cost for ⛽️ & tuneups: $0
Cost for hot water :$0
Save $800/year heat

Annual savings $4,800/yr
Payback : 4.5 years

Never buy a gas car again!

I wonder what percentage of these voters participated in the last election…less than 43%.
Complaining now because times are tough is pathetic.
Stop being apathetic and VOTE. There’s NEVER a perfect candidate. Vote for a candidate that causes the least harm and can win. Every vote is a compromise❗️
