This is totally true because I use about 15x more kWh of electricity at work than at home. Why? We have an electric boiler supplying bathroom hot water, we still use incandescent lights, we have huge electric ovens for soldering, etc. With green Facilities leadership we could cut our factory emissions by a lot, and there’s only so much supply chain transparency that can be supplied to consumers before they just don’t really know which product is greener (and some of our customers are military and they don’t give a fuck about supply chain carbon emissions). If factory leaders here were B-corp environmentalists we’d be hiking up prices on military grade product and spending that profit on green infrastructure upgrades at our factory.

I like the idea but it reminds me of local tax-exempt dining balance to spend only on food services in some not all establishments in my college town.

Solar panels are durable goods, so where they are maintained and refurbished is more important than where their manufacturing foundry is located.

It’s also almost an hour long. That’s longer than my doomscrolling lunchbreak at work.

Does this have anything to do with the wave-like physics of particles?

you know those noisy portable AC units with hoses? if you have a balcony or porch this may be an ideal option for you since the noise goes outside and the heat goes inside with minimal noise.

Energy wise, they last up to 60% as long as a block of ice in a plastic bag wrapped in a thin layer of foam so it doesn’t frostbite you. The benefit is the ability to recharge them in the fridge or even in a cool place instead of the freezer.

also those hand warmers seem like they’re bad because they’re tiny not because their chemistry is flawed.

how about the emissions associated with time wasted waiting for device to do X, or time spent on trying the work around to Y not being supported?

what can I do?

at lead this one doesn’t jam assuming axles are fixed in position

I thought that clothes already block UV rays by being optically opaque!

At that point you might as well just place an entire agrivoltaic system on your roof, although it requires significant structural support and you would be living underground.
