you joke but we did exactly this with our gas service. I noticed in the summer that literally 2/3 of our bill was fees, with only a gas water heater running.

Put in a heat pump hot water heater and turned off the gas from March/April to Oct/Nov. They really aren't used to people cancelling service lol.

Apparently even 2 step solutions are hard for you.

1. Green the demand / EVs

2. Green the Grid and magically the transport sector gets massively greener.

Since deniers and oil companies have delayed things decades, we're going to have to do both at the same time. They knew about this in the 70s and buried the studies b/c it would hurt their profits.

Not how it works. Until you cross into their building, not on property, it's just you commuting to work on your own dime.

Trip and break your hip in the parking lot before work? Not work related. I definitely think it *should* be, but it isn't.

Comment Re:A plant that burns nonexistent hydrogen. (Score 1) 76

Storing/transporting hydrogen at scale has significant negative climate impacts. it's much harder to store and inevitably has leakage. Let alone the increased maintenance of embrittlement. There may be niche uses that outweigh it's negatives but 'at scale' it's not a viable solution.

The latest science suggests that
hydrogen emissions are 30-40 times more powerful at trapping
heat over the following 20 years than carbon dioxide for equal
mass, and 8-12 times more powerful over a 100-year period.
