I think he does mention heatpumps in the video actually, but I'm not sure what he thinks of them or what he's said about them in the past.
He goes full on greta thunberg toward the end of the video, slamming conservative media and the republican party. Completely off the rails..
I think anyone with a brain can see the value in renewable energy, but we are still in the early phases of figuring it out and developing the tech necessary. The left wants to shove it down everyones throat before its had time to cook.
If we could find a balance or just integrate it as practical, it would be a non partisan goal.
We shouldn't be forced into unproven, unreliable, or inefficient vehicles/machines for the sake of optics, virtue signaling or muh climate change.
I personally have been very interested in solar power, but the battery tech/price has just not reached a point were I would consider it a smart decision to adopt it yet.
I've also been following the progress of Aptera motors solar powered EV. Its a cool idea, but the base price of the small and odd looking vehicle is expected to be around $50k. I believe thats way too high for what they are planning to roll out.
A while back, he went full retard on heat pumps and how great they were. I prefer the hot heat of natural gas.
Renewables can have their uses, but they're not 100% of the time like coal, nuclear, oil, and gas. We need more than just a few 9MW turbines in a field.
I watch his content all the time and like it. He is one of the few I watch without adblockers and his politics, while obvious, never concerned me because of him explaining his position about technology. I disagree with some of his conclusions like natural gas generators at the home not being economically viable, same with solar. Scales of costs can be changed but won't because of new infrastructure costs. GM (yes the one that makes planned obsolesce cars built by moron UAW workers) had a put out a natural gas system in the late 80s that was designed to put a power station in everyone's house and it ran off of natural gas.
I think he's right about natural gas burners/stoves in the house. Those things put out all sorts of contaminants and waste a lot of heat. Natural gas central heating, hard to be against that. I had electric in an apartment once and it took so long to heat up. I don't think natural gas is very efficient with a water heat, though, and you can't as easily put it on a timer for when you take how showers.
