I know your intentions are good, but this reads as a rather damning list of why a bunch of people are going to fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo.
The average for the whole US during the winter is just under $1,000. That is around $250 a month. This is also not a “few” hours.
Central air can easily run +$200 a month during the summer.
I will admit I have a big house that is heated with diesel. My bill would be half that if I had a heat pump.
Considering most Americans were living paycheck to paycheck before this recent bout of inflation, I don’t think most have any extra money to play around with anymore. It is time for tough decisions like keeping the house warm or eating things other than ramen.
My heating bills runs close to $800 a month in the Winter. That is more than a few hours of labor.
The scissors got poor pacman when he was distracted by that booty.
True. Also, parking on a driveway and driving on a parkway.
The fact that you drive to Seaworld should tell you all you need to know.
Actually, you walk in and hold the shopkeepers hostage. You then let your men rape their family members. After that you attack and enslave the local village. Finally, you work them to death to get what you want.
This cycle of slavery and death also kills millions of people eventually eliminating their entire society.
Trust me, I have been eyeing a heat pump for awhile now.
The house is close to 4k square feet, but I do have 10 people living there so it is being well utilized. I also live in Alaska so we get entire months of sub 20 temperatures.
It is still hard to deal with when you get that fuel bill.
