Transforming Homes for a Sustainable Future
Elevate take you inside the Steans Family Foundation North Lawndale project, an initiative designed to electrify pre-existing weatherized homes in Chicago's North Lawndale community area. Our goal? To transform 30 homes in 10 phases, providing homeowners with state-of-the-art, energy-efficient solutions at no cost to them.
Hear from a local homeowner about their experience with the program, as they walk us through the benefits of going green. Learn about the innovative home electrification technologies being implemented, such as heat pumps for heating and cooling, energy-efficient hot water heaters, and induction ranges, all aimed at reducing utility costs and minimizing carbon footprints.
This project is a win-win, saving homeowners money while helping to protect our environment. Watch to see how we’re building a more sustainable future for North Lawndale, one home at a time.

    It is scientifically impossible for greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. All the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth is completely absorbed in earth's greenhouse effect by greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor. This video has the United Nations Climate Change disclaimer. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. The cause of global warming is not known as of 2024. The back of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. The IPCC has been transparent with its data acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases. Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The overall average temperature gain to the earth from the earth’s greenhouse effect is 5.55°C (10°F). Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface. Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet. 0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2. The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.

    In 1881, Joseph Swan of Newcastle upon Tyne had already opened a factor in Benwell making lightbulbs with carbon filaments. It is hard to claim you invented something when a factory has been open for a year making your 'invention'

    • @KateYourke
      @KateYourke Рік тому

      His patent was for an improved process for making carbon filaments which allowed them to burn far longer than existing products. He also patented a more efficient process for manufacturing the improved filaments, allowing for the mass production of a more durable light bulb. His processes were novel enough to be awarded patents, therefore they are his inventions.

      Innovations can be considered inventions if they are novel and non-obvious, and processes can be patented, making them inventions. Do you object to anyone being called an inventor if their work is only one part of a process or a device? You'd be arguing with a lot of people. Or do you think Lewis Latimer in particular does not deserve recognition?

      Ok, not to diminish that achievement, but then your beef might be with Edison, or Maxim? Lewis Latimer literally wrote the first book on electric light, Incandescent Electric Lighting (1890) and he supervised the installation of electric lights all around London -as the son of fugitive slaves with an elementary school education, a black man who was founding member of Edison's pioneers! And he was a painter, a poet and a musician. But I learned something, now I'll go look up Joseph Swan...

    Mr. Host, what are you doing? You are NOT supposed to teach about any contributions African Americans made to the betterment of the country. The unspoken teachings in our schools is that Blacks contributed NOTHING; therefore, according the THEM, we don’t deserve credit for anything. One southern GOP congressman tried to have legislation enacted to honor certain men, they say, are the sole reason for the industrial revolution of the U.S. Thank God, some tried to educate him, that White males aren’t the only ones that should be honored!
