I thought we wouldn’t need furnaces in a few years.
As BiXiden has caused the price of natural gas to double, I demand 200% efficient furnaces.
I’m sure AOC would agree.
And the madness continues....
One thing we must all keep in mind and constantly remind people of, is the fact that when they talk about removing carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, it’s not just carbon being dispensed with, it’s also oxygen.
They are all about sequestering the Carbon in YOUR body.
How much more efficiency would be gained?
The makers have been working diligently on efficiency since the 1970s.
I saw two Bidenvilles from US 41 after visiting my dentist, who said my wisdom tooth was too far decayed and would have to be yanked by a oral surgeon.
The ultimate goal is to make those items so expensive that ordinary people can not afford them. They will be forced to use electric heat.
Yet right now the Midwestern states are barely able to meet the demand for electricity. Imagine the results if a few million electric cars were to plug into the system tonight.
But our magnificent government will solve that problem before it goes out of control.

new furnaces will be 150% efficient, deemed so...............
A friend was discharged on disability from the Air Force. He had a housing allowance from Uncle Sam.
He fixed up his home with wood fired furnaces and “volunteered” to remove people’s trees after they were cut down.
He had so much firewood he didn’t have enough for it all. His house was never cold.
I want one someday. My neighbor has one that heats his water too. Of course that means he has to run it all year but it uses a tiny amount of wood in the summer.
I don’t agree. I think this is all entirely on purpose.

Been heating with wood for 46 years.
Haven’t been cold yet.
This dumb proposal won’t go into effect until 2029. I’ll likely be dead by then but I bought an efficient furnace some years ago so I’m not affected.
What’s screwy is they admit the cost savings due to increased efficiency are $100 or so a year yet the more efficent furnaces cost more than $2,000 so given the life of an average furnace of 15 years they will never paay back their original premium.
If there is a benefit it is entirely on the incremental less CO2 between 80 and 95% efficiencies. It is a tax on gas furnaces to reduce CO2.
