Narrow Focus on Energy Output
00:00:00
Baker Plbg
Listen, some of you guys are so thick headed insular. Like it's hard to talk to you because all you can do is think about this little tiny piece at the end and say stupid things like it's 300, 400, 500% on the energy we put in about the energy we get out.
Reliance on Natural Gas for Electricity
00:00:16
Baker Plbg
There's no venti and there's no carbon dioxide. I'm like, man, you, I don't even have to start with you. This is, that's the end of the process. why over here What do you think happens over here?
Inefficiency of Natural Gas Steam Generators
00:00:28
Baker Plbg
60% of North America's electrical production is uses natural gas. And I'm not going to go super deep into it. You're welcome to Google it. That's what it's there for.
00:00:41
Baker Plbg
60% of it is. And what do you think those steam generators, what their efficiencies are? How well do they use the natural gas? It's 40%. They are burning through millions and millions, probably billions of BTUs of natural gas, and 60% of it is going right up the chimney.
Renewable Energy Sources and Their Impacts
00:01:03
Baker Plbg
So that you, down here, can create your little tiny, oh, we're getting 300%, 400%, 500%, which we all know is lab results, but I'll give it to you in the shoulder season shoulder shoulder seasons.
00:01:18
Baker Plbg
why is that Why can't you see that? And then I have people say, well, we have hydro or solar or wind. I'm like, yeah, that makes up, solar and wind makes up about
Efficiency of Gas Equipment vs. Heat Pumps
00:01:28
Baker Plbg
8%. Hydro is about 15%, depending on where you live.
00:01:33
Baker Plbg
And we can talk about the ecological disaster of hydro, if you want. That's a whole other discussion. And we can talk about how the ecological disasters of getting rid of solar and and the carbon footprint of creating a windmill.
00:01:48
Baker Plbg
Like, just stop and see it. the The equipment that we install, the gas equipment that we install, is 98%
Reliability of Heat Pumps
00:01:58
Baker Plbg
efficient. So it comes, basically, comes out of the ground, blah, blah, blah, refines it, comes to me, and I use it at 90% efficient, 98% efficiency.
00:02:07
Baker Plbg
You, as the heat pump guy, the natural gas goes to the steam generation plant, gets 40% efficiency at best. That's what they say. You know it's worse than that. And then they send that electricity to you, which you get to use as whatever. It
Explaining Energy Efficiency to Experts
00:02:24
Baker Plbg
varies.
00:02:24
Baker Plbg
And the fact that you need a redundant system, I never in my, in 40 years of installing appliances, if I said, oh, and when this fails, at the time that you need it the most, you're going to need this backup system. But high five, everybody.
00:02:41
Baker Plbg
It works. Like, bound i don't I am gobsmacked that I have to explain this stuff to grown-ass men. My thoughts, not yours.
