Understanding Heat Pumps: Criticism and Efficiency
00:00:00
Baker Plbg
You guys are a funny bunch, man. the The green energy crowd, the heat pump crowd, the engineers have come out and to disparage my name in many different forms and fashions because I don't understand heat pumps.
00:00:16
Baker Plbg
I don't know how to explain it to you other than this. We're running a 100-yard race, and you guys take go to yard 90 and then run.
00:00:26
Baker Plbg
Everybody starts at the same time. You're like, ah, we kicked everybody's ass. Not accounting for the first 90 yards that took to get to those last 10. I understand how the technology works.
Energy Sources and Environmental Claims: A Critical View
00:00:40
Baker Plbg
I've worked on the technology, all the rest of that stuff. it Once you get to that point, that end point, it works very efficiently. If you have someone that knows how to do it, if you've done your heat load calculations right, and if you've installed the equipment properly.
00:00:56
Baker Plbg
There's three big ifs. And those all have their own pain points, whether you like it or not. um We can talk about California where it's so that heat pump is super popular. And they say that 57% of their...
00:01:10
Baker Plbg
ah Electrical comes from zero carbon sources. 35 still comes from natural gas, which is the, you know, 40% efficient at best.
00:01:22
Baker Plbg
And what is zero carbon? Solar. Nobody talks about the disposal of the solar cells. When nobody talks about the construction of windmills, ah hydroelectric, nobody talks about the destruction of ecosystems to create massive dams, nuclear,
00:01:41
Baker Plbg
ah And so there was a new one that I learned when I was talking with um
00:01:48
Baker Plbg
ah Robert there in the UK called the Drax system and it's biomass.
Biomass Energy and the Green Agenda: Inefficiency and Critique
00:01:53
Baker Plbg
And they're basically burning wood. They're importing wood pellets from Canada.
00:02:01
Baker Plbg
To burn it. And nobody talks about what the carbon footprint is to cut the tree, turn it into pell-ups, ship it over to the UK, and burn it. And then say, and then and then have the audacity to say what?
00:02:15
Baker Plbg
Zero carbon. Like, bro.
00:02:19
Baker Plbg
like I feel like I'm beating my head against wall. But whatever. You guys, it it is their religion. They are the new priests of the green agenda. And you can if you question them, then you're going to get in trouble. And I'll question them all day.
00:02:33
Baker Plbg
um
00:02:34
Baker Plbg
As opposed to, as I've said before, my gas appliance that uses that energy at 98% efficiency.
00:02:42
Baker Plbg
you You know, it it it just comes down the pipe and in. Anyway, my thoughts on your deal with your issues. I can only dumb it down so far for the engineers.
