The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.
  • Thanks for the try but I’ve had a 35 year old house the energy consumption difference and upkeep cost is astounding compared to my current new build.

    But yea I don’t think I’ve considered NE I’ve been everywhere else. I think that’s also fairly safe climate change wise? Or maybe it was a specific state according to pbs eons.

  • The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.
  • I need somebody to help me find a blue state where I can afford a 4 bedroom 2400 sf home.

    I’m at twice the median income in my city and my house cost 280k built in 2020. Not to mention interest these days really kill the possibility of moving when I got a 2.75% interest rate and no PMI.

  • Inefficient air-cons are being dumped in Southeast Asia. That’s costly for consumers and the climate
  • Certainly, the equipment might become unusable, but rather than disposing of it, they are repurposing it elsewhere. Considering the environmental impact, whether the efficiencies and lower global warming potential (GWP) outweigh the benefits of discarding an already manufactured system, which would necessitate manufacturing anew for compliance, is uncertain.

    I would estimate payback period to align with a lifespan of around 10 years, matching the expected duration of some of these systems. This estimate entirely anecdotal.

  • Inefficient air-cons are being dumped in Southeast Asia. That’s costly for consumers and the climate
  • In the us market there is a new standard for evaluating efficiencies seer2 and hspf2. The minimum standards are only 1.3 seer higher than the old standards. In that sense it’s a bit sensationalized.

    The article touched on the upcoming change in the US market to switch to lower global warming potential refrigerants. The new ones are about a fifth lower.

    These might be coming from Europe as the us is still transitioning. Additionally the old refrigerants are not barred from being manufactured and will be continued to be used to maintain older systems. Again this is somewhat sensationalized.

    We already created the equipment and ‘spent’ carbon emissions to manufacturer these. It would be a waste to throw it away.

  • This school board made news for banning books. Voters flipped it to majority Democrat
  • Been voting democrat for a while now in Texas. I wrote a letter to my congressman about speakership. He was republican, so the local gop now thinks I’m republican. So they sent me packets to vote for the republican candidate for school board. I voted the opposite.
