In principle one should save a lot of money with heat pumps. Surely one can get a low-interest loan for the amount by increasing one’s mortgage, which should more than pay for itself?

Yeah it’s weird. Texas has massive amounts of both wind and solar. I guess the state’s self-image means that they have to use fossil fuels? Sort of like everyone in Texas needs a truck even if they just drive to work and supermarkets?

The capital class wants to divide the working class.

You have way more in common with your grandparents than with a billionaire.

Or, you know, eliminate private ownership of residential real estate…

Since “green hydrogen” is basically a fiction right now, heat pumps (or neighborhood heating, as someone else mentioned) are the only option we have.
