I still don't get what's so special about heat pumps. Aren't just like ACs but like inversed? They seem to work the exact same way, so I don't get what makes them so much better or more efficient.

Heat pumps work the best in wet climate
>>
>>215638598
Heat pumps are more efficient because they take advantage of the free energy that is in the air.
-20c sounds really cold but it's actually very warm compared to the absolute zero temperature of -273c.

Heat pumps just use enough electricity to draw air, the heat transfer is a physical process which doesnt need electricity, when it get cold it has to draw a shitton of air because Heat is more rare and efficiency collapses

South Korea has the highest per capita nuclear power plant operation rate and nuclear power generation rate in East Asia. Consequently, our electricity bills are considerably lower compared to our income level.

Last summer i trained myself to not need the fan at 45°C and i would go outside in the full summer heat in a dress shirt and not sweat. I don't see how that's possible for -20°C weather where the water in your fingers and nose will literally freeze off and give you necrosis if you don't get warm because it's physics in action. Heat is definitely easier to deal with than cold just look at Tropical Africans who live in 50°C weather all year round and don't need to do anything to survive the temperature.

just use incandescent bulbs they generate heat unlike soulless leds
>>
>>215643801
They are designed to last ten years. Gas boilers are designed for 15-20 years.
Spare parts are expensive because every few years they release new models, so the factories stop producing the old parts or produce them at a very low rate (or are made to order). They are expensive because of that, and not the inherent value of the part itself.
Also every heat pump at -10 degrees likes to turn on the e-heater like a motherfucker, making it extremely inefficient.

Heat pumps are 95% recyclable, they’re basically sheet steel and copper.
Also all the newer heat pumps’ refrigerant gases are environmentally friendly and if they escape to the atmosphere there’s absolutely no problem.

>>215643862
New heat pumps are filled with explosive gases and are MORE dangerous than boilers and gas heaters because they operate at much higher pressures.
Just search for videos of maintenance guys getting blown to pieces while meddling with industrial ones.

Our last (green) minister of econmy forced a law on us that forces us to adapt those things, too. He also wrecked our economy and left us with the highest electricity prices on this planet.

Supposedly yes but that was tens of thousands of years ago.

Given that Homo Sapiens supposedly stared migrating out of Africa 70Kya it's not far fetched to imagine the map as being even greener than the early Holocene it's based on because the earth was far colder then.

I live off solar. Set the thing up myself.
I honestly don't get why people don't do it. My panels I got for free because they are older and some guy didn't want to pay to get rid of them then I used old car batteries an inverter and controller. I don't need heating or ac where I live

I'm just surprised most European don't just install them

Dude, we rent. Only a small percentage of people own their own houses and CAN install solar panel. And that number is ever decreasing. Nobody with an honest job can afford a house anymore.

True. We've increased solar and wind power so that it now provides 70-75% of our power. When the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine, we buy electricity from foreign countries. At extremely high prices, and that also drives up prices in those countries.

I think German climate infringements deserve an armed response. Strategic bombing of all German power plants and anyone involved in the brown coal supply chain.

Yes, but we don't have a country with 2000 kilometers of empty space like you do. If something happens like Fukushima or Chernobyl, we can't evacuate. It's logistically impossible. Also nuclear energy is just too expensive. We used to have clean (heavily filtered) coal power plants. Not brown coal, but stone coal/black coal with a very low sulfur content.

not a mine, a borehole. you can dig into rock and entomb the waste forever.
the only reason nuclear waste disposal is complicated is because of NIMBY bullshit.

>a borehole
We have tens of thousands of tons of nuclear waste. A simple borehole wouldn't do at all. Plus the region has to be geologically stable for millions of years. We don't have that either.

If it were that simple, the problem would have been solved in the 60s.

Can you dig a basement? It's 5-6 warmer than the floors above ground

ok, so let's assume nuclear is literally impossible (greenpeace and gazprom told me so)
what is the german solution, then? environmental death cult(fully de-industrialize)? turn gas into hydrogen and pretend it's green?

Politician niggas be like
>let's sell all of our energy to Germany or why not give it to Google for free? Why not deregulate the infrastructure and energy geid and make sure private companies get rich off of basic utilities like fucking electricity, which our country gets for free from the fucking rivers

>If something happens like Fukushima or Chernobyl
Fukushima killed 2000 people. Coal power kills 4400 Germans PER YEAR.

It's not CO2, it's radioactive radon. German coal alone kills more people every three year period than nuclear power plants have killed all over the world for all time.

You've really proven my point that your people are too fucking stupid to be allowed to govern yourselves. We must take military action to save you from yourselves.
