(80% of 644 TWh = 515 TWh)<br/><br/>According to the Federal Environment Agency, all private households used 465 TWh to heat our homes in 2024. <br/><br/>Let that (heat)sink in: We produce more excess heat by burning fuel than we need for heating.<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/864/327/020/545/987/original/f809299047c01bc0.png"> <br/> 2026-01-09T09:10:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxlh49dlx0rsxy3ku0zpy4q7fxnex63qw2yt2w3dl6jy0uhh4n97szyp9hjd36pd57nemc3kdfpqtw8x6g7j2xlfu3s9udvlg5k6mdu9mczkw3xrr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswnanp8ghsewn8nwgvxe0wszm68puqzdfymlx80vrpwkac8mv638cw7pjk9'>nevent1q…pjk9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The gist of the book really is: we could totally make it work if we wanted politically. But I guess that&#39;s the main theme for so many things right now. 2024-11-27T15:07:33Z
