How is the grid going to sustain adding literally hundreds of millions of electric stoves, Evs and furnaces when it is already stressed to the breaking point? Maybe by putting more gas and nuclear power plants online? LULZ, fail!

So are you suggesting people should not live off the grid in the wilderness? Hint propane gas cooking is the only realistic option for an off the grid house, unless you want to use wood which offers C02 and particulates. And yes I do know...

Dr. Hayhoe, You are always an inspiring and good humored voice for #ClimateSurvival. I appreciate your commitment to empathy for and responsibility to humanity's climate survival. In addition to SAVING US are there two other books you recommend for #ProEmpathyFreedomVoters in and out of office that will inspire us to action?

Thank you Chuck! Yes, I have a list of recommendations here that are organized by topic. The books that appear on the list right before and after "Saving Us" are probably the ones you're looking for! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1BZ1WM74ZKX7Q/ref=cm_wl_huc_title

Keep in mind too that if stoves are anything like cars that the manufacture of the stove will use as much energy as the car itself over its lifetime. A lot of these wasteful planned obsolescence based "green" solutions are a pure scam cooked up to keep a faltering economy going as perfectly good cars, furnaces and appliances are replaced with supposedly green versions.

If you want to actually help, spend the money you would have spent on replacing a perfectly good old appliance on planting trees or some other carbon offset.
