And don't fucking miss
That kid almost had high schools named after him.
Energy hungry appliances means more energy (electricity/gas) consumed. trump's other efforts are killing green energy generation. So these two things together mean more fossil fuel energy consumption which props up his selling us all out to fossil fuel interests. This tracks with trumps corporate capture.
He's killing us
Yes, but his patrons benefit, so thats okay with him.
Hope you always wanted to fight for Earth in an underground cyberpunk rebellion
See? The future's not a waste yet, that's cool
Do I get an edgy Theodore Logan riding shotgun in my head while I rebel?
We should return the favor.
Your life is worth some extra money to a billionaire. It’s worth it.
It's a bizarre situation of pro global warming for its own sake. Like nor even oil companies want everything he's doing
Near the top of the list for fossil fuel interests is *checks notes*. How about that? Russia.
It also means I can buy an hvac unit that fits in my utility closet. The energy requirement change a couple years ago was going to make it not possible.
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. What trump is ending is a standard that displays energy efficiency information. How would a less efficient unit, which means requires more energy, make a smaller unit?
For hvac heatpump units, the newer efficiency standards getting met was going to have to reduce air resistance on the A coil, and allow more air to contact the A coil as it blows by. To make that happen, you need a larger A coil, which of course, takes up more space.
So when I say bigger, I'm not talking about the fans or pumps getting larger. I'm talking about space that non moving parts take up that the air goes by to get hotter or colder.
I'll admit I'm not an expert in HVAC. However, aren't there other new changes in residential HVAC standards with R-32 or R-454B refrigerants which are not only less polluting, but significantly more energy efficient over R-410a? Wouldn't those be physically smaller units anyway, which is what you're looking for for your utility closet?
The difference in efficiency is actually less than 5% for r32 compared to 410a. The offshoot of that is also that the compressors will not last as long because they run like 20f hotter. The 4%ish efficiency gain is also not enough alone to meet the new requirements, so it still falls back to a larger surface area needed on the A coil. The efficiency standards that were being put in place are simply too big of a jump in too short an amount of time. It's not like everyone doesnt already want to save money on their heating and cooling costs, but requiring homes already built to deal with the fallout of having to install units that won't fit in their homes is a shit move. I don't have anywhere I could even take away from to make my utility closet any larger. Requiring the new standards in newly built homes wouldn't be as big a deal, as it can be planned and built for, but some people will have to buy used hvac units, keep their current ones running as replacement costs shoot sky high (working control boards for some old units can fetch $800. Same issue with other parts and labor to keep them running), or give up and install window units that are way, way, less efficient.
His handlers just hand him stuff to rubber-sign and like the good dumbass that he is, he just does so.
I’m just going to start saying it. Will someone please just kill this motherfucker already?
He's clearly an enemy of the United States of America. Everything he does hurts average Americans.
This country has ZERO issues killing our enemies.
Nothing will get better until we start talking about it.
His head really does look like his suit is trying to take a very messy shit through its neck hole.
"reorganization"
You mean destruction.
But I don’t want to run my refrigerator on leaded gasoline!
Reminds me of this advertisement for an EV...
The Trumpist future right there. Truly we live in an age of marvels!
Well the US won’t be exporting to Europe,Canada or Australia as they all demand to know the score.
What's wrong with this asshole?
What isn't wrong with him?
He is still breathing
He's what happens when you're born rich, have white trash parents, and are surrounded by yes men leeches your whole life.
He's evil. I honestly can't think of a single policy he has supported that wasn't cruel or stupid.
He actually did something I agreed with but I can't remember what because he does so much evil it doesn't even matter
No one has the guts to stop him
Wow. These comments.
Looks like people are reaching the end of their patience with this felon rapist traitor.
Nice. Only three adjectives. I'm being downvoted for some reason.
None of those were adjectives.
