minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•edit-21 month agoyeah if you don’t have heating (wood, pellets, gas, fossil, electric, whatever) you can’t live in that climate. its, like, a thing. but its way easier to heat a thing and keep it warm than cool a thing.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agohuh. I was just looking at air conditioners being really inefficient and it being really hard to keep a thing cool passively because all the stuff we do/have makes heat nowadays.

me? yes. my living space? less.

heat pumps are extremely cool.
The laws of thermodynamics disagree
