Oh I have no idea, I just got to this thread and see you're at -6.
It's weird because I thought it was an informative post. Made me want to look more into it and if it was just a subsection of heat pumps that was affected.
I think because I left open the possibility that there's any utility at all to fossil fuel usage, they're treating me like a whacko that's hoarding incandescent light bulbs because I believe LED light bulbs are distributed computing nodes for mind control space lasers or something. I'm not - I was reacting to the article based on my experience with a mini-split heat pump that can't handle a week of 15F weather without freezing into an iceberg, even with a defrost cycle.
