That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

    -40 is eye buggingly cold. You could have a styrofoam house and I would still worry about being cold in it, plus y’know, the giant fire hazard.

      Saves a pretty penny on refrigerating stuff but makes for a hard time to have a decent night of sleep.

      And your remark on styrofoam hits hard with me.

      I have an old house, nearly 100 years old, with a very poor score in thermal efficiency, that really needs some improvement but the idea of glueing highly combustible materials to the walls does not go well with me.

      Well after lighting the styrofoam you won’t feel cold anymore

      It’s crazy. I’ve been doing all my insulation calculations based on a delta of 20 (20 inside, 0 outside).

      To hit the same heating requirement, I’d need to triple the amount of insulation for -40.
