    While I certainly appreciate the greater efficiency of fireplace inserts, such as the one shown in the picture, it raises the obvious question: how is Santa going to get into the living room? Poor guy is going to get down the chimney, and then frustrated by the steel doors!

    As the Hirsute One keeps telling us how great plug-in electric cars are, it seems that even with the government subsidies, demand is tapering off. As the global warming climate change emergency activists are trying to ban things like gas ranges, the liberals in New England are opting for gas ranges and furnaces rather than going all electric.

    Tapering off ? Well perhaps but remember this is the US Tesla sales
    2015. 18000
    2016. 27000
    2017. 50000
    2018. 200000
    2019. 200000
    2020. 300000
    2021. 300000
    2022 40000
    demand tapered off? By going up 25%

    Dana as I have said before you must always be more skeptical of data that you WANT to believe, check primary sources. Don’t take my word or anyone else’s word,go and check for yourself to see how “demand is tapering off”
    Tesla sales up 25%
    If I read something that I wanted to believe “Trump definitely going to jail…..” Don’t you think I would check before posting?

      But Johnny-what’s the need for electric cars? Why go to an inferior technology? And with them being mandated in many places, of course the sales will increase

    • Dana says:

      Dude, my original source was Barron’s.

      Prices would be going up, not down, if demand was increasing.

      Dear H:

      You show a 150,000 increase between 2017 and 2018 but flat between 2018 and 2019 then an increase of 100,000 between 2019 and 2020 and flat in 2020 to 2021 of 300,000 and then a drop of 160,000 in 2022.

      I’m guessing you made a typo and 2022 should be 400,000. But either way, a 25% increase of 100,000 over the 300,000 in 2021 would be 75,000.

      Plus, you show a 100,000 increase in 2020….the year the country was mostly shut down.

      Your numbers don’t add up.

    I previously mentioned how the Pico household are not completely dependent upon electricity for heat, but that doesn’t include our daughter’s house in Lexington. She has a gas furnace, but it requires sparktricity to run.

    LG&E and KU doing ‘brief service interruptions,’ asking for customers to conserve energy
    by Audrey Fowler | Friday, December 23, 2022 | 9:06 PM EST

    (LEX 18) — The winter storm has caused many outages across the state. Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities are asking for customers to reduce their energy consumption.

    LG&E and KU are also performing “brief service interruptions” in intervals to “minimize extended impacts” on customers.

    They say outage durations will vary but range around 30 minutes.

    There’s more at the original, but it’s simple: while the Biden Administration and the global warming climate change emergency activists want everyone to switch to non-fossil fuel heating sources — meaning electricity — Kentucky Utilities, which serves Lexington, and our daughter’s house, is having to employ “brief service interruptions” to keep the power on for everyone, even though power needs are reduced by having “many outages” across the Bluegrass State.

    Think about it: while most people’s gas furnaces use 110-volt, 20-amp circuits for their required electricity needs, electric heat pumps or baseboard heaters require 220-volt circuits, and, depending upon the system, more amperage.

    Our daughter has sparktricity back, so the furnace is on again. But if Kentucky Utilities is unable to provide sufficient power in an area where most people have gas furnaces, how the heck does anyone think they could do so if everyone had electric heat?

      Keeping warm. Keeping it running.

      If you want to ensure your gas furnace runs even during electricity failure, check out our 5 steps to installing battery backup for a gas furnace.

        Our first winter in Jim Thorpe, 2002, we got snow on Hallowe’en, which soon vanished, but then 14″ of heavy, wet snow on Christmas morning. The sparktricity failed at 11:30.

        We got power back at 6:00 PM . . . on the 26th. Our house had been snugly warm, heated by steam radiators powered by a fuel oil burning boiler, but, of course, it didn’t work without sparktricity. It got down to 50º F in the house before we got power back, and that was in the middle of a small town.

        The previous owner has installed a hearth for a wood stove, but never added the wood stove. We learned our lesson, and bought and installed a wood stove.
