You Will Be Very Shocked When You Can’t Use Your Gas Car

This sets up an interesting
kind of a catch 22 situation.
Do supporting businesses for
rebuilt parts, engine and
transmission rebuilds, body
sheetmetal, suspension and
drivetrain, suddenly go out
of business, or does the
mandatory EV push drive more
of demand for those services,
as spare parts availability
dries up?
Thousands of American
automotive service
organizations could
disappear.
Is this the intent, driving
our economy further into
the ground?

oh no worries as i havent the brains or the technical knowledge to attempt it- I’m a laborer, and not someone who can innovate or try technical things really- the most complicated i get is keeping the computer running relatively problem free, sort of-

I didn’t look at plug-in hybrids much because I wanted more miles per charge like a BEV to go with my solar.

Understood.

Thanks for sharing what you do know.

I hired a licensed solar installer to do my solar installs (Phase I was a small installation to make sure it worked like expected, Phase II was the additions made after having Phase I for a year). I hired a licensed HVAC to install the variable speed heat pump in place of the old AC (I highly recommend that if you live in the south). And a licensed plumber to replace my old gas water heater with a hybrid water heater that has a built-in heat pump. And a licensed electrician to install the charging circuits.

About the only thing I did myself was run the ducts to and from the water heater. I duct in from the attic so the water heater's heat pump intake takes in warm air to improve the water heater's efficiency when it heat's the water tank (it doesn't have to run as long while it's consuming only 380W of power). And during the warm half of the year when I'm trying to cool the home, I duct the water heater's cold air by-product into my home HVAC's air intake (so that my home variable speed heat pump can stay in low power mode a couple hours longer each day because some of the air it takes in is already cooled by the water heater's heat pump).

If you're better with your hands than me you'd probably save more on labor than I did. Without my math nerd number crunching as a software engineer (most of my work was on the back-end data side), if I had used only normal folks' math I might be getting only 70% free power instead of 80% free power. But if you're more of a hands on worker and don't have the math nerd, your saving on some of the labor might make your initial costs low enough that your payback time period is shorter than mine.

Revelation 14:20
“And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”

As a kid growing up, I recall hearing and wondering about how the last great war could possibly be fought on horseback... well, here we are with guvmints ramming EVs down folks’ throats (and it seems impossible to see any kind of practical role for them in a battlefield) at the same time that they are doing what they can to drive ICE vehicles, gas stations and oil production in general out of business.

Just sayin’.....

[[ I duct in from the attic so the water heater’s heat pump intake takes in warm air to improve the water heater’s efficiency]]

Excellent idea! We have a “Whole House Exhaust fan” which draws air from outside I. Through the windows, and up into the attic, which ends up cooling off the attic, but that is just wasting the “free heat” which could be used to help heat, or keep hot the water heater water (not so much in winter, but certainly in summer). The fan is great on cooler nights, (but sounds like being on a runway with jets taking off in all directions lol) but when humidity strikes, it isn’t much use even if it is a little cooler than inside ai.r - we usually run a small room ac in the ,iving room only, at the very worst of the Humidity (heat we can take, but the humidity is miserable when temp is over say 85-90 degrees-or so)

We end up having to run a dehumidifier in the cellar because of so much water in the air- can’t afford to run one upstairs plus ac, but the ac does act to draw moisture out of living room which is where we spend the majority of time., but sure would be nice to dehumidify the whole house efficiently- again, the heat we don’t mind so much- if it’s dry, not an issue, but the humidity is murder on us now.

I tried a “swamp cooler” where a fan blows air over ice, which cools the air, but it doesn’t remove moisture unfortunately and doesn’t work all that great.

My home's variable speed heat pump has a dehumidifier feature for dehumidifying the house. That very much improves the comfort level in humid Alabama. I used to run a dehumidifier in the downstairs, but no longer do so since I installed the var speed heat pump for the home.

With the var speed heat pump I also have a variable speed air handler for the home. What that means is my home heat pump and air handler are almost always running, but in low speed. So during the warm half of the year when I duct the cold air by-product from the water heater to the floor of the closet the water heater is in, where there's a new air handler for my home HVAC. No matter what time of day the water heater runs to heat the water tank (and produce free cold air), the home HVAC is always running to take in that free cold air and distribute it through the house.

Thanks, definatrly gonna look into those heat pumps and air handlers. Would be nice to get rid of the jet engine house fan, or use it only seldomly.

[Bob434]

Yep, definately a run-up to the end times where a one world gov Will force people to move to central locations while promising them that they can “have all the fuel they to, heat, air conditioning” and that they can “buy and sell as they like” AS LONG AS they move to the locations designated, and take the mark of the beast.

(Of course once people fall for it out of desperation to feed their families and keep them warm during winter, they will find out it was all a lie)
