If you look at the f250, some are over 7500lbs: https://www.ford.com/trucks/super-duty/models/f250-xlt/

This is the real disconnect. As long as executives' pay are related to profits or stock prices, they will never make safety the #1 priority.

In many other countries, they wouldn't even report these numbers.

He doesn't give the math of what he's spending now vs with a heat pump, and he doesn't say he CAN'T afford it, just that it will take too long for him to see the financial benefits. When others try to ask him about details, he doesn't respond.

The whole reason why we're in this mess is the full cost of carbon is not paid by current consumers used to cheap energy. People need to accept that their western standard of living will be reduced to match the correct cost of these comforts without taking a sort of "carbon loan" for the future generations to pay.

It's a very hard pill to swallow, I understand.

Sorry I thought everybody here understood personal sacrifices will need to be made in order to solve the climate change problem. Apparently not, we just like to blame corporations for selling us the things we demand (like gas heating)

The entire article is just an ad for a blog that doesn't exist yet... The irony is unbearable.

It says that's what he did in the first sentence of the article...

It's a lot of waste but they do this to prevent shipping damage and so they can stack them up higher
