Why not also require them to have supplemental solar?
I genuinely don't understand why that isn't a thing.

Great video! I live in Chewelah and have driven by those lakes on 20 but never visited

Yeah, but they're still more efficient than conventional forced air. The best low-temp heat pumps are 188% efficient at 0 F.

Step 1, install all the hvac ventilation.
Step 2, complete the permits with no heat pumps.
Step 3, install furnace and AC unit.
What a waste of time.

IT'S SOCIALISM! Any true American would rather see his granny die than accept a government check.

Curious as well. Looks big enough to be lake Roosevelt but not a lot of docks on there

I'm all for radiant floor heat and heat-pumps in new homes, and I own an electric car. But JFC. we'll never get over our addiction to bonneville dam will we. salmon always come last. how about we focus on building industrial scale solar in eastern WA first before pointless mandates. next it will be "no more cooking with gas". the way they'll accomplish that is through the home insurance industry. and then once every single thing is electric, and they can control your home over the internet, the "limits" will start. "no keeping your house over 68 degrees in the winter".
"there's only so much clean energy to go around ya know". okay, fine. BUILD some. I see a lot of mandates and virtue signalling about sustainable energy, but strangely not a lot of of actual building of sustainable energy generation. "But we have bonneville!" Yes, and we also used to have a columbia basin ecosystem capable of feeding millions of people with salmon runs.
"take down dams!"....."oh wait no, don't take down dams we need them!"

It isnโt. My hand is hovering above. I was just trying to show the size comparison.

Nobody on this topic really cares what she's calling herself this week, or any time. She's not a progressive.

Sorry. To make it easier for you, does "the beaches near Forks, LaPush, like Ruby Beach" help?

Had one floating around Henderson bay (south sound) this summer. It was about 18 inches in diameter. No thank you! Honestly we rarely see them back here

There's no beach around Forks. La Push is the beach around Forks.

Insanity is voting the same way over and over and expecting different results. Look around and see how much crime and poverty is currently in our state. Then look at how rich our politicians have become.

Efficiency and effectiveness are two different things.
