Advice on how my wife and I can save the country and the world

Thanks for all of this. Fortunately, we have already begun this process, although not specifically for the sake of decarbonizing. We already have a conventional (not inductive) electric range. Last summer we replaced the five window air conditioners with a mini-split (heat pump) system that provides AC and limited heat. That has significantly reduced, but not eliminated our reliance in the winter on the gas-fired furnace/water heater combo. We had no immediate plans to replace that, but we might look into it.

On the negative side, we have been thinking about installing a gas insert for our fireplace. It hasnt burned wood in a long time, and gas would be more convenient for the occasional winter days we feel like having a fire.

I’m hurt and dismayed that you haven’t been following me so closely as to have seen my thread about battery powered lawn tools. :grin: Just in the last few weeks I’ve acquired several new Ryobi 40V and 18V tools: the current inventory consists of a self-propelled lawn mower, string trimmer, leaf blower, hedge trimmer, and orbital sander.
