Thanks for comment. …
Thanks for comment. My monthly gas bill for summer is $25, that’s for hot water and cooking. It’s hard to justify the large cost of the type of domestic hot water heater that can accept heat from my collectors. Maybe if someone with 4 teenagers moves in, they’ll do it!

Instead of the radiant floor heat idea, I cut a vent thru the floor to let the heat rise passively, I’m trying to use less power. Power down, that’s our new direction. Before doing any of this first insulate, then insulate, then insulate again, then see what your heat bill is.

Most impressive, I am in the stages of something like this. I will be using a “can heater” panel(s) with a fan to drive the air across 2 new car radiators and a thermal siphon to my water tank for domestic hot water via a coil heat exchanger. Any waste heat will go to heating my home, the rest in summer will be expelled out side. I insulated my entire basement including the floors with extruded polystyrene.
My current winter gas & electric is $150 for winter and 2 people 1200 sq ft home +basemnt

The only sane way a green economy can be built is by privatizing the environment, enforcing private property rights, and reducing gov’t regulations. Further gov’t regulations, further public control over the environment, and further fake demand created for fake “green” jobs will further distort the market and systematically reduce future wealth creation and destruction of existent wealth.

@selfrealizedexile …
@selfrealizedexile What about the destruction of life by people who think they own everything?This is the same dogma that caused the gulf tragedy..own that.
There could be green instead of all this pollution and ill health,unwilling people have forced the laws to be created to protect from unregulated faith that people will do whats best for everyone and not just their bank account..
You cant eat, drink or breath money, our clean alternatives have been here..
Thats no fake.

I fully agree that whenever something is “publicly-owned,” you have tragedy of the commons. There have been numerous historical examples.

Pollution today is mostly an instance of violation of private property rights and should be criminally prosecuted like any other invasion of rights. Pollution isn’t an example of a free economy of the environment, but, rather, an absence of one. I realize this sounds counter-intuitive, but watch this video and you’ll see where I’m coming
