So their point is that we need to quit using NG as consumers so electric power generating companies don't have to worry about their supply of a fossil fuel that is responsible for decreasing fossil fuel emissions. And they are undisturbed by the fact that the basic NG generators are just above 30% efficient (comparable to coal and nuclear) and combined cycle plants (no good data on how many of those exist) are 45-55% efficient. Then you get into significant electric transmission losses, and the conversion of electric power back to heat ... with more losses. That means it's probably better to use NG at the endpoint directly as the heat source.

I have a heat pump and like it for reasons such as I could never get a packaged NG heat and AC unit that was balanced for this area - too much heat and not enough AC - the heat pump fixed the issue. Secondly NG prices were unregulated and increasing at will while electric rates are at least somewhat regulated, so I had a better feel for what the heat and AC costs would be with the heat pump. The range, oven, and water heater are NG. When the power goes off, we still have hot water and can cook. I hate that the electric power generators are competing with me and increasing NG rates.

Yeah good luck getting Texas to move away from NG for power generation as well as heating the house and water. Sitting on the Barnett Shale is gonna keep us on NG for the foreseeable future. A bill was passed this election to add baseload power generation capacity but it is limited purely to NG from what I understand.

Biden Mixes Up Taylor Swift and Britney Spears as he pardons turkeys Liberty and Bell: President jokes about being '60' on his 81st Birthday - then Confuses pop stars performing in Brazil​


  • Biden Thinks Britney Spears, not Taylor Swift, has been performing in Brazil
Joe Biden mixed up Taylor Swift and Britney Spears as he went off script while pardoning two turkeys at the White House.

The president, who is celebrating his 81st birthday today, also joked about his age, saying he was really only turning 60.

He went on: 'You could say even harder than getting a ticket to the Renaissance tour...or, or, or...Britney's tour...she's down in...it's kind of warm in Brazil right now.'

Britney Spears has not toured for several years and is currently not in Brazil.

Biden mixes up Taylor Swift and Britney Spears

Biden suggested Britney Spears was on tour in Brazil rather than Taylor Swift. The blunder came as he pardoned turkeys at the White House.

Yeah, I see this. How is this our business what two countries trade in?

Iran is using the proceeds to enrich nuclear fuel to weapons grade. You have basically three choices: let them build bombs, stop them militarily, deny funding through sanctions. Pick one - remember you are the "smart" generation that will live with the consequences. Enjoy.

Going nuclear with a question on Biden's poll numbers. 🤡 Watch until the end.

I know this really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but this right here and anytime Biden just walks off the podium without answering questions would have not flown if Trump was in office... and I only voted for Trump in 2020 because he was the cleanest shirt in the hamper, so I'm not a Trump fanatic.
