whitequark | DocScrutinizer05: so, remember you argued about incandescent vs CFL/LED lighting and offsetting of heating costs during winter? | 02:55 |
---|---|---|
whitequark | i've realized that the cost of W of heating via electricity is going to be much higher versus via gas or cogeneration | 02:56 |
whitequark | in... probably everywhere except someone with free natural gas, like, i dunno, russia? but russia has cogeneration everywhere. | 02:57 |
wpwrak | whitequark: unless you have a nice little "planwirtschaft", like in communist countries like argentina, where prices have nothing to do with cost. there, the e-kw can be some order of magnitude cheaper than gas for no reasonable cause | 03:02 |
whitequark | does argentina push for more efficient lighting? | 03:04 |
wpwrak | sure. a few years ago, there's been a great push towards CFL. so we have all the time bombs in the world now :) | 03:06 |
whitequark | amazing | 03:07 |
wpwrak | it was perfectly times: maybe a year later, adequate LED technology would have been available also here. | 03:08 |
whitequark | you could say you were plan-wirt-schafted | 03:11 |
