| Well, oil is cheaper than electricity now*. *) Depending on time and location of course, but it's the case surprisingly often. As a Swede, the more I learn about about how central Europe has been heating their homes the more disgusted I become. Like, the way e.g. Germany seems to think of burning gas as "clean". I mean, maybe compared to coal, but... you shut down nuclear plants with a plan to replace with (Russian) gas? You do understand burning this causes CO2 emissions, right? That was the many-billion-Euro German green energy revolution your environmentalists wouldn't stop talking about a decade ago? And now our electricity in southern Sweden (which is what we generally use to heat our houses, in contrast to most of Europe, since it used to be very cheap and clean here, just a year ago. Most use an air-to-air/water heat pump or three) is insane costly, because of a combination of idiotic leftist politicans/voters also shutting down nuclear plants while at the same time building export power connections to Europe. It's like everyone is doing the opposite of what's sane. /rant over |
