  • Electric heat is not always 99.9% efficient, resistive heating is.

    Heat pumps are more than 100% efficient(compared to resistive heating)

    It’s not bs, because we are moving heat, not creating it. You thinking it is bullshit will not change the laws of thermodynamics. Try to think about it this way.

    “Cold” is a made up human concept, it really is a lack of heat energy. The coldest is 0K, but even a Midwest winter is waaaaaay above that. Heat pumps (and all refrigerant-based systems) work by changing the phase of the refrigerant from liquid to gas to cool, or by compressing a gas to a liquid. This phase change takes energy from the surrounding air (think about computer duster, the can gets cold) and then pipes it inside, where it can be compressed to release the heat it just picked up from outside. In the summer you flip the reverse switch to cool your house.

    Here is an explanation from someone much more eloquent than myself:https://youtu.be/7J52mDjZzto?si=sYlNlpvGnJs16lwk









  • None of the things you mentioned were a service you paid for, that’s called a false equivalency.

    I would say go ahead if you were paying for a shopping cart collector, personal trash collector, and a cigarette butt collector. Why would you hire them if you did not intend to use their services?

    The business made a deal, people took them up on their offer. It was a voluntary action on each side. If there was no intention or ability follow through on what they were offering, they should not have done so in the first place. Just make the cap 30tb or whatever. This eliminates the potential for abuse and does not trick consumers into thinking they will receive the service they paid for.

    You’ve clearly got no critical thinking skills. Don’t be upset that people expect to be able to use a service they pay for, from a company that chose to offer that service.
