Politicians and energy policy

All that much? Do you want to vaporize the grid?

No particular surprise. How about 30 and 80 year charts as well?

We really love the illusion of being in control of things even when we aren't really. The feeling that you are not in control increases your discomfort level a great deal. People often don't notice they hurt them selves at a sport when they are winning the game.

In the building I worked in some years back, the thermostat for one area was in another and the others was in the one. The result was a nifty flip flop where one heater or the other would run flat out until in managed to actually warm the other area up indirectly. Some days, when I was working on something that was actually working, I wouldn't notice. Others, I would nearly die from the heat. I am sure that the temperature was always just as uncomfortable.

BTW: In the summer, people could put on extra layers of clothing so the air conditioning flip-flop was less troubling.

Activity also makes a huge difference as does eating. It is very likely that what you eat matters too.

That should have been easy to fix. I'll bet the 'character' who did it was about to quit his HVAC job and did it to cost his boss in time & materials.

That was one of the tricks was to move around a little while working at her sewing machine to generate more heat. Also, she didn't eat enough, which slowed her metabolism.

We've been on time-of-use metering for around 6 years. We come out about 20% cheaper than flat rate, even though we're here during the day. Just the pool pump (2HP) alone timed to run only off-peak saves us about $60/month.

That's neat. And it spools up and down a bit faster than normal hydroelectric.

It is the leading source currently, but nowhere near the majority supplier. See:

Breeders can use thorium too.

Between us we just about skinned linnix proper.
