You bought a shitty heat pump and decided you were okay with living in a state that produces electricity using fossil fuels. What's your point again?

  What state doesn't produce electricity using fossil fuels? At midnight last night, which wasn't atypical, California was 50% natural gas and the total CO2 emitting is even greater due to imports and CO2 emitting renewables.

    Vermont is mostly green via hydroelectric and wind

      Vermont also consumes ~3x more energy (all energy, not just electricity) than it produces and has the lowest energy consumption of any state. https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=VT https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=VT

  I've noticed often the response to criticism is "you should have spent $10k more". And the people who spent the extra who enquire about excessive costs then get met with "why did you over-spec your system?" lol

  I bought the best product available at the time. Since Iceland is the only nation on earth that has successfully kicked the fossil fuel habit (11% of energy is produced by burning fossil fuels), I suppose you are suggesting I move there to blunt my aching conscience. I'm sure Iceland is nice, but I think I'd squander any environmental benefit flying to see my friends, relatives and immediate family.
