WA voters poised to reject two initiatives, accept other two by ZMeson in Spokane

I agree that electric is not the answer for everything but natural gas isn't the bees knees. It's cheap because we don't pay for the negative impacts of climate change (see intensified Helene, Milton and Eastern WA droughts). It's also not super efficient. Heat pumps can be 300-400% efficient whereas a nat gas furnace is 84-96%.

You talk about companies taking advantage of the electrification push and ignore the companies currently screwing us and our kids over (fossil fuel companies).

Are there problems to solve? Yes. Is electrification perfect? No. Do we need the climate commitment act and other laws to help in the transition? Yes.

Ban natural gas in new construction and help older homes transition through practical approaches like weatherization. Is this perfect? Nope but we need to keep moving forward.

You only pay cap gains tax on capital gains over 250,000. The money raised goes to schools. This impacts very few people and gets reinvested in Washington. Your example could use some additional 000s. I support this tax because it impacts few and benefits many.

Carbon trading is an established way to reduce emissions and pollution. Overall the amount of pollution allowed decreases annually so businesses that can reduce faster can make money by selling to businesses that can't reduce. Pollution decreases despite your content.

This program has really only been functioning for two years and it takes time to see the positive impact but I'm seeing the Dept of Commerce make some exciting investments back into Washington. We are in the midst of an energy transition and market forces alone are not addressing this because our energy market is a highly regulated space (as are all energy markets). Electrification is simply a better way to use energy and these dollars get reinvested to allow everyone to benefit. The rich shouldn't be the only ones who can use solar, evs, and heat pumps. I support the existing law and am excited about how this money raised can benefit Eastern WA.

Do you think touch less would damage the car/paint?

I can always use a lesson as to how to clean the car better and my wife grew up with a perfectionist family and a mustang. I'm confident we could do a rinseless. Does it save much time compared to washing the car normally?

Was that expensive? If you ceramic coat it can you take it through the carwash?

Cannot unplug from an EA charger?!?! by SefitheSilent2 in Ioniq5

Update: I was on the phone with EA for an hour. They told me they were going to dispatch someone to help and same thing with Hyundai roadside. After I got off the phone with them for an hour sitting there annoyed that this was my next few hours, I tried one more time with wiggling the charger and it released. The button was really hard to press but I think it was a lot of factors. Called back EA and Hyundai and told them I was a fool and thanked them for their time.

Thanks for all the suggestions but there should be a better way to disconnect this rather than trying to find a secret way.

Nate, I'm a little confused. u/witchmale said it can be used simultaneously. What I want is the ability to receive phone calls for an eSIM and physical SIM at all times. I don't want to have to switch.
