You got this crap all over the world, the US is just a bit further along the way. People love to get absolved of all responsibilities and the political right gives them exactly that. They are also better at information exchange, just copying propaganda techniques, that worked somewhere else.

Rebuilding the US into a dictatorship seems like something, that should be avoided. But then I am not a US citizen.

Yeah, but farmers have a powerful lobby and they produce our food. So they got some power behind their words.

The whole discussion started for winter conditions. You can find the numbers in the other comment thread.

1l/h as I noted further down. Still less range lost relative to the maximal range than in an EV.

The answers to your question is already in my post and the 150 was obviously a typo, because the loss in range checks out. It should be 15. AC uses less because the temperature difference is less.

From cooling the engine. When you are standing still and the engine is running it consumes about 1l/h. I just looked up some numbers for EVs: 100kWh battery, heating takes 1kW for every 10K temperature difference, so 3kWh in -10°C. Its higher if you use additional stuff like the heating for the seats. With 150kWh/100km consumption you lose 20km every hour you are in the heated car. I would say that’s a noticeable difference compared to no heating. I also checked how much an AC takes in summer and its about 1 to 2kW for 30°C.

That’s why I said it depends on the type of the heat pump. Some can go really low, the cheaper ones not. At some point (the latest at -273.15C :D) they need to switch.

I mean, it’s not about them not working, it’s the efficiency. Most models will switch to a normal electric heater, if they can’t extract anymore heat from the surroundings. At which temperature that happens, depends on your type of heat pump.

If you are in a traffic jam, you lose range because of the heating. For gas cars, that doesn’t matter at all.

Yeah, but somehow they don’t like clips and it’s a pain to access them now, if the streamer has not highlighted any.

Nutritional yeast

Well, if the first step happens (people going vegan), then other protein sources will be automatically in demand. A huge chunk of protein powder nowadays is whey, that can be easily substituted by soy, because of the sufficient amino acid profile of soy.

Yeah, once you found a brand, that tastes well, it’s not an issue anymore. But paying a lot just to notice, that it tastes disgusting, kinda sucks.

We are talking about a switch to a predominantly vegan diet. People need to get the protein they got from meat from somewhere else.

But then humans can also eat that soy meal to get their proteins. It’s pretty tasty, I eat it regularly.

Do you have any sources on hand? It’s hard to google for this stuff without running into sites by PETA etc, which are too biased for my taste.

But then you doubt the number and not the general effect of reducing carbon emissions by switching to a plant-based diet, right? Because it is pretty obvious, that growing plants and then feeding those plants to animals is way more inefficient than eating the plants without extra steps.

Why? Because all the animal herders will still produce lots of meat at a loss and then just burn everything no one wants to eat?

It’s hard to find good nutritional yeast though. Since they are quite expensive, it is not easy to try around until you find one, that does not taste like garbage.
