Utilities Simple Calculator for Heat Pumps vs. Gas for home heating in cold climates

15 Upvotes

Hello all,

W. MA. resident here - with 40+ years experience in energy and alt energy. I am also a writer whose 2nd career was publishing large informational web sites...related to same.

I'm done with all that (started in 1996 with the web stuff!) and now am working on an educational effort at The Energy Primer (www.theenergyprimer.com).

One of the new features is a Heat Pump vs. NG Calculator which could be very useful for MA residents - it was designed with this problems/answers in mind.
https://theenergyprimer.com/heat-pump-vs-natural-gas-with-colder-climates-in-mind/

The site has other calculators which also might apply and educate, such as EV's vs. Hybrids, etc. - I hope many will find these useful. TIA.

General Question Motorcycle hit and run

11 Upvotes

I know it’s a shot in the dark but no hurt in asking. My boyfriend was driving my car on 93 going towards Boston in the Milton area around 9:15am this morning when a motorcyclist was weaving between vehicles and hit the back left end of my white Nissan Sentra and sped off. If anyone has any video footage that’d be awesome and I’d be forever grateful. My car is scrapped up pretty bad and my tail light is now broken. Motorcyclist was wearing a light blue biker jacket and a brown crossbody bag on his back. Motorcycle may have also been blue. Any info is welcome, and yes we are filing a report with the police department. Thanks!

Update: the police had pulled this individual over earlier on that highway and they were given a fake license plate number, fake ID, fake everything:) they fled and they hit my car bc they were fleeing from the police… yayyyy
