That is pretty cool!What if the wind turbine is struck by lightning?

"Transition" seems to be the operative word of the day.Just remember, it is not a recession it is a transition. Feel better?
This was again one of those laws that a LOT of people paid no attention too. MANY who live there will of course be shocked when it goes in and they suddenly find they can no longer buy the gas tools. Most will of course get real angry and everyone except themselves for voting for it.I had no idea Gruesome New some already banned gas powered tools?!?!
In the first minute or two of this video that's what he states.
I guess you have until 2024 to buy them, then the go the way of the "hi cap. Mag" absolutely insane.
I guess he wants that "rolling brown out" to land squarely on your chest.
Yeah but mo(w)er power to the mom and pops stores across state lines. I hope they get a thriving business of smugglers sticking to the "man" if you can call pelosi's feckless little relative a man...This was again one of those laws that a LOT of people paid no attention too.

When it goes in it will be interesting to see just how hard CA will enforce this. Reminds me was when "low flow toilets" became the law here long ago. The first ones they were making were great for saving water but, they did a VERY poor job of being a toilet. For a long time it was a standing joke that the Home Depot just across the border here had a flood of US people going up to Canada to buy a toilet that worked.Yeah but mo(w)er power to the mom and pops stores across state lines.

Truly we need to divert the boarder wall and annex Cali. Hurry before they escape!
How about a hot air wind turbine system installed in DC?If only we could convert politicians' lies to electricity.
There are pressure toilets that are more efficient; they use the line water pressure instead of the pressure from the tank, the latter being just gravity and very little pressure.The first ones they were making were great for saving water but, they did a VERY poor job of being a toilet.
They have made some GREAT improvements in the low water use toilets now. This was back in the 90's IIRC that they first made it law here. The first ones they were cranking out to meet the new law were famous for not working well. This was what lead to a flood of US people driving up to Canada to the Home Depot. That old show King Of The Hill even did an episode making fun of this. Where Hank installs one of the new toilets to save water and then hears his Wife and Kid flushing the toilet multiple times to get the damn thing to work.There are pressure toilets that are more efficient; they use the line water pressure instead of the pressure from the tank, the latter being just gravity and very little pressure.
Yup and when it come to water its like the old adage two is one one is none. Its best to have at least two or one main and a backup like collection and cisterns etc. A lake and river etc. Something where you can setup a water hammer type pump to push water up a hill if optimal (of course) I'm glad I'm not diabetic or anything. I really feel for those who NEED power and it's not an option.My long time pal Mark just completed his self-installed solar power system. Which he is rightly proud of. He lives in southeast New Mexico where there is plenty of sun and no trees to block his light. In fact, his building is on a completely bare lot, not one tree or shrub growing upon it. He had some help from his cousin getting the collector panels up onto the roof but he did the rest. He lives alone, has very modest power needs. So saving money isn't all of it. I asked him how far off the dollar break-even point was, he said over 16 years at current prices. Mind you, that's with him supplying all the labor and getting most of his components at the auction. He is more concentrated on the off-grid feature.
He is well off for his own power. Trouble is, water is another story. He is connected to a small, local water district. Wells in his area must be dug ever deeper whenever a new one is sunk in. Groundwater quality is very poor. In his last place, he had to install a reverse osmosis system from well water to get enough minerals out of the water to have a functional water supply. Which wanted a lot of attention and no freezing in winter time. They do get atmospheric moisture, but it is rare and when it comes, it's usually in the form of a flash flood. The dire water situation in the southwest US is now well known. My pal has worried about this some. For an off-grid survival thing, you need the whole package.
Sloan valves being the predominant product seen in commercial buildings. I don't think I've ever seen a Sloan valve in a single family residential home. For one thing, Sloan valves typically take one inch service, not common in residential homes. Sloan valves are more efficient as to disposal with their rather violent flushing action, but I think they use about the same amount of water as modern 1.28 gpf tank toilets. Water pressure design toilets make a lot more noise, might wake people up at night. They sometimes scare the snot out of little kids.There are pressure toilets that are more efficient; they use the line water pressure instead of the pressure from the tank,
They have Sloan pressure tanks that retrofit a regular gravity tank toilet to use the line water pressure. And they have toilets that have that from the factory. When I sell and move, I will either spec toilets for the house I build or have the toilets in an house I buy, retrofitted.Sloan valves being the predominant product seen in commercial buildings.
