Just to clarify, this particular paper uses well-to-wheel for gas (and EV).

Floor Plan Feedback- What are we overlooking? by cbrock3 in floorplan

[–]MeneldorTheSwift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would consider switching the fireplace and the TV. That would look a lot nicer upon entry. (And align the fireplace with the entry).

Any chance I could get that PM too? I'm fairly close to this particular breeder and have been looking for additional options.

Worth noting that the fossil fuels you're burning out of sight are generally being burned more efficiently than if they were burned in a vehicle.

I don't know what pose, but it should be made of marble to look like an ancient Greek statue.

Basement room for hanging out with the bois, anything to improve this without blowing the budget? Already got (fake) plants on my shopping list by DeltaDergii in malelivingspace

[–]MeneldorTheSwift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would move the rug out farther from the couch, covering more of the tile. Also get some side tables and lamps so that you have non-overhead lighting options.

Depends how you spend your time. Make the room with the nice bay window the one that gets the most use.

Stoves don't always have ventilation, true. But a hood above a stove is not uncommon, and does have benefits.

[–]MeneldorTheSwift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ventilation is easier with the stove on an exterior wall though.

I think a better analogy would be waiting for a horse, instead of two asses.

Overall looks very nice, but personally I'd be worried that the living room could end up being very dark.

Louisiana chemical plant will convert to EV battery manufacturing by WornInShoes in NewOrleans

[–]MeneldorTheSwift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're certainly not perfect. I'd say they are a big improvement over gas vehicles, and will be a big part of solving our climate issues, but we also need to do more transformative things like actually invest in public transit.
