In his latest video on Solving The Money Problem, Steven Mark Ryan shared his thoughts on Sandy Munro, who recently spoke about Tesla’s giant gigapress, its huge casting machine, the octovalve and heat pump, the Cybertruck’s exoskeleton, and the crash safety of the Cybertruck. Munro also speaks about Tesla’s 4680 … [continued]
One of the ways to slow the advance of climate change is to reduce your personal carbon usage. While we can’t efficiency our way to climate neutrality, we can buy ourselves time by slowing the rate of carbon emissions and conservation, as Negawatts are often the cheapest form of clean … [continued]

Heat pumps in the worst buildings and nothing else would eliminate about 1.9 megatonnes of CO2e per year in Canada.
Virtually all manufacturers today build their “durable” white and brown goods with planned obsolescence. They are designed to fail instead of designed for the longest possible lifetime. Concurrently, most now come with 1-year warranties, or longer warranties as a marketing gimmick, with some of the purchase price put aside by the bean counters for the inevitable failures. The reason for all this is increased profit.
In their latest podcast, Third Row Tesla talked with Elon Musk and Sandy Munro about some of the innovations Tesla brought to bear in optimizing the design of the Tesla Model 3.
We foresee a softening of new commercial construction, a reduction in cosmetic renovations of existing stock, an increase in renovations focused on improving the net operating income including a strong focus on heat pumps displacing gas furnaces and existing air conditioning and an increased shift to distribution-center business models.
A thought experiment published recently by London-based climate charity 10:10 Climate Action raises the question of whether the many lost rivers of London could again become the lifeblood of one of the world’s Great Cities by using heat pumps to provide low cost, low carbon heating and cooling.
Originally published on NRDC. By Christina Swanson and Eric Weiner A new NRDC study shows that water heaters that use high efficiency heat pump technology — the same process that keeps your refrigerator cold — can cut the amount of electricity used to heat water by half or more, saving … [continued]
1Sun4All. How much comfort is required to give up if we live in an energy-efficient house? How much would we lose by updating our home to net zero standards? Maybe none. Check out the latest article from Irene Ying for the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, that tells us a lot about … [continued]
