I would guess zero % reduction. Lack of shelters isn’t the issue - apparently there are always spare beds and ample capacity because they are not allowed to take drugs in the shelter and most would prefer to be high and on the street than safe and going the high cold Turkey. We need mental health facilities and drug rehab programs.

I’m one of those that find it terrible as well, and just feel so many people are drinking the koolaid because Jen Coolidge is finally having her moment in the sun.

20 minutes in we’re looking at a ball sack for shock value and in general the acting is mediocre at best. You don’t really care for any of the characters and I found it a complete slog to get through the first season, let alone second which I gave up on during episode 2.

They don’t need to be cheaper, just the same price or even slightly more given the running costs and maintenance are far far lower (no filter changes, no oil changes, no timing or fan belts, etc etc). People will spend more upfront because over the life of the car they spend far less. That why prius became so popular - they were $10k more than the same ICE car but you saved $20k in gas over the 5-10 years you owned it.

Same here but I have the roof space - unfortunately there’s absolutely nonsensical code that sates panels must be placed a certain distance from the roof ridge and also can’t be too close to the edge meaning that I can only use about 30% of my roof space. So If I max out my entire allowable roof space I only get about 70% of my power needs (even with everything in the house being high efficiency such as new appliances and led lighting etc).

Having panels that are twice as efficient (which is what this development means in real terms) would easily solve that issue.
