The exact figures:

735.5 MW AC 2,942 MWh

Verified from Minnesota PUC and EQB.

Almost all heat pumps also use fans. It’s simply more efficient.

The difference in your diagrams is not related to heat pump/AC, but forced air v. water.

I hesitate to contradict you but they really are. Many use more efficient parts, but the mechanism is the same.

There is no alternative in hot, humid regions (cryopaint is not proven). In dry ones swamp cooling and fans help.

However, I’m not sure many people are saying air conditioning is a solution to climate change.

Many are saying it’s an adaptation necessary to survive in warming humid regions. The human body cannot thermoregulate in wet bulb temperatures above 35c. Fans don’t help as the body cannot evaporate sweat into saturated air that is as warm or warmer. Air conditioning not only cools, but removes humidity.

If you get a severe case of influenza, it comes with a fever. The fever is a symptom, not the underlying cause of the illness, but it can kill faster. As a result, you need to treat it as well as the flu, often with acetaminophen. Air conditioning does not treat the underlying cause, but it can mitigate the symptom that kills fastest.

I think he might have been into tbat.

We missed that opportunity. I will now go my life wondering what could have been if I left my wife and kids, and started anew with the foot freak in seat 23A.

I legitimately think he would have liked that.

Not a single open seat on the flight.

I was with my family, so I simply adopted a wide stance.

Oh it wasn’t staged.

I would say I don’t know the guy, but given his foot poked and carressed my leg at various points during the flight, I would argue we are at some greater level of intimacy.

I only submitted it once but noticed it took an exceptionally long time. Apologies.

Excuse me?

Yes, the dormant Commerce Clause specifically. One state cannot unduly burden interstate commerce nor use their size to force national standards since manufacturers cannot feasibly have a California packaging, then another for 49 other states.

Sadly, there is a real chance that the suing states prevail.

Metro Toronto is a disappointment. It should be have been doubling its subway network every 20 years. Instead it shut down a line, added a few stations on another, and built LRT that’s slower than the bus it replaced.

It needs express subway tracks, GO with 10 minutes headways, and transit oriented development able to house 10k people within a ten minute walk of every GO stop which means zoning for density,

Pay for it by owning the land around stations like HK or Singapore and leasing it to developers for 40 story affordable apartments, increasing the gasoline tax, and putting tolls on the 401 and Gardiner.

Toronto is a transportation nightmare. It’s time to adopt successful models from Asia to make transit fast, convenient, and cheap while making driving fast, convenient, and incredibly expensive. Fill in with protected bike lanes and the city will be liveable and affordable with great air quality

That is a Ayam Cemani. They are an entirely black Indonesian chicken breed that is the most expensive to buy in the United States. Their meat is supposedly higher in protein, and also entirely black.

And Canadian.
