It is now better than ever to find alternatives to fossil fuels, do you have any plans?
It is now better than ever to find alternatives to fossil fuels, do you have any plans?
Ive already done most of the obvious things I can think of for my current living situation (I dont own a car for one thing, and I’ve quit using the gas kitchen appliances that came with my apartment in favor of an electric hotplate and toaster oven, which are big enough for my purpose, and Ive stopped eating meat, which isn’t a direct reason to personally buy fossil fuels but given it’s less efficient for the calories gained it’d use more fuel to make than plant’s Id think).
The biggest use I have left is heat, that’s gas in my current place, moving somewhere newer is probably out of my price range if I still want to be able to walk to work, and I cant exactly remodel a property I don’t own to change the heating system. Ive looked into window unit heat pumps before, and they seemed too expensive for me to do easily at the time, but I suppose it has been a couple years so there’s a chance cheaper ones have come to market.
I’d really love to try some of that balcony solar I’ve seen talked about recently, if weren’t for the fact that I don’t have a balcony to mount it on in the first place and that I’ve heard it poses some risk of overloading wiring, which given the age of my apartment I’m not sure I trust.
