  • Environmental issues aside, gas is also a pain for installation. Solid pipes are more difficult to route, and leaks are, of course, dangerous. Electricity is dangerous, but it is easier to contain. It doesn’t leak into the air, and because it’s a closed loop, we can measure if it isn’t all returning and shut it off (RCD/GFCI). It also has flexible cables. The downside is that, heat pumps require more maintenance. They’re a vaguely complicated mechanical system, as many fluid systems are.


  • Deaths are sad, if we consider that people can be brainwashed and it isn’t entirely their fault, it’s a tragedy.

    That said, this is… Evolution in action. I don’t just mean darwin awards dumb, but more specifically that technologies (social or physical) are actually a part of Evolution, not aside from it. That also means that dealing with misinformation is actually becoming a part of evolution, literally for survival. Or if not critical thinking, then what group you attach yourself to, aka what network you trust. Which in some ways, is actually not all that different from before modern technologies.
