Personal and household CO2 emissions data for 2025 shows our 3rd full year without gas use. Overall very small changes from last year. Direct emissions from the house/car etc were down slightly (again).
Total household CO2 exc flights = 843kg, inc flights 1388kg,
personal share of total = 559kg.

Early this week (I think, I can’t keep track), ICE Nazis grabbed two teens out of a Target at which they both work. Both are citizens. It turns out that ICE threw one of the two teens out onto the road some blocks away. This is the video of this poor kid.

Across the year the ASHP performed amazingly, averaging a total SCOP for 2025 of 4.47, which can be broken down into:
Heating COP - 5.11
DHW COP - 3.31
I'm very happy with that efficiency which when eventually coupled with PV and batteries should bills will reduce considerably.
