Totally gonna have her back on!

She does doesn't she!

You're amazing at what you do! It was my pleasure.

Yeah she does doesn't she?

It's only outpaced currently by Vancouver and Austin I believe. So may startups here.

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast tempting

It's a great place to live my man.

Porque?

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast Haddasah sharing very timely messages to my current situation

Thank you sir! Hadassah is amazing!

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast you did an awesome job

You made my day!

Big time!

Yikes......

If this is the dumbest thing you've ever heard, you've never lived here. Or you just got on the internet.

Some places you don't have many, or any options.

I've never heard that before! I used to live in a couple of small mountain towns like 15 years ago. They were just too small for me. Maybe as I'm older though now it would be different? Don't know.

Yes ma'am. It's definitely one of the "heavens" out there. If mountains are your thing, it's got you covered!

I would've thought the same. But it's not the case interestingly enough.

huh?

Yowza!!! Here in Denver, that's probably about $6k/year.

How does tax money lost equate to property values still being high? Not sure I'm making the connection.

@TheLivinginDenverPodcast do you think thr government is going to lower the value of property and lose tax money considering it is based on a percentage of the value of the house? I've talked to several property investors. And all have said there is no shortage.

@@zeppo4169 Maybe it's location dependent, I'm an investor, an agent etc.... And here in Denver, we're "balanced", as there are as many selling as are coming on the market, but the amount of options is still sooooo low. If you have any requirements, it's tough to find something that works. I also do and don't subcribe to the government control theory. I think we give them too much credit for being able to control things, and other times, I'm full blown illuminati controls us all tin hat man.

Only about 4 or 5 years in the last 100 years.

Our money printing problem is my biggest concern. But does real estate serve as a hedge?

So what's your average monthly utility cost for power?

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast last year I used 2400kw, so that's $720 for the units, plus the connection charge of $292 = $85 per month. But I have relatively low consumption of electricity. My heating system is gas and I have no EV or electric heaters.

@@ro2778 that's pretty comparable to the U.S. I'd say

I've never seen larger power lines installed in neighborhoods before. How do they increase the load it can handle? Genuine question.

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast Listen, sorry if I come across rude. Just take a look at the world outside man. How do they deliver power to huge cities? How does any infrastructure work. Wheres a demand, there is a service, thats it. We live in the developed world baby.

@@SunRunn3r No need to apologize, it's a real question though. If in your specific neighborhood let's say the usage increased by 20% or even 50%. How does the grid physically work? Do we have powerful enough lines currently? Or do those need to be upgraded? I've never seen an existing neighborhood be upgraded in their lines, but I couldn't imagine it would be quick, cheap, easy etc... So how do we adapt? What does that look like? Or, is part of the answer to have enough people get solar installed and therefore we don't "need" upgraded grids?

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast So of course the grid would need upgrading in that case, but such demand levels dont explode overnight. What is happening right now however on a quite big scale is the following. We have surplus power during the day that has nowhere to go, to the point where you get paid if you consume energy. Its has a term "Netzdienliches Verhalten" which translates to Grid assiting behaviour. So market forces already push private households to adopt their own storage that takes cheap energy during surplus hours of the day and releases it (most of the time for personal use) during peak hours, where its common for the energy to cost twice as much, often at least 50% more. This is not unique to Germany, every place that has some kind of energy cycle, which is often linked to solar Sees this dynamic. So thats one way to greatly increase grid stability and capacity. Since those who charged their batteries wont need the grid in peak hours, thereby creating more capacity and also saving alot of money on their energy bill. Also, while not so cheap, generally Power infrastructure is quite cheap and space dense compared to the value it provides. A few cables already carry enough current for more people than we could imagine. Although I couldnt tell you any numbers on that. For housing, however, the overwhelming majority of households are equipped to handle for example an electric car, home battery or a solar roof installation with 0 modifications to the grid connection and with well timed energy usage the grid load can not just be mitigated, but reduced! Now you might think this is an optimistic fantasy, but if you pay 20ct/kwh vs 50ct/kwh people start to act accordingly. Thank you for your time, I hope this has given you a broader understanding.

Your home HVAC is probably the largest electrical load in your home. It probably draws like 3500-4500 watts - it runs for 20 minutes an hour during the summer daylight hours (depends on the state, in FL it runs almost 24x7). A hairdryer can be like 1800 watts, you use it for a minute once a day. An EV charger can use 7000-10,000 watts and in some instances will be going for hours. New homes have new HVAC which can be much more efficient (SEER2), better insulation etc.. No, our 3 grids (West,East,Texas) have all been neglected for decades and can not take everyone buying and charging an EV.

​@@InsidiousDr9 Using math and your numbers - Best case for AC is 3500W *8hrs = 28KWh daily. EV charging 100miles/Day (extreme worse case) 25KWh daily. Most only require 1/2 of that, and charge their vehicle 1-2times/Week. New homes use heat pumps on the east coast. Assuming 100% eff they are drawing power 30-40 minutes/ hour in the winter, and are by far the highest demand on the grid which you conveniently ignored. Typically drawing a min of 60KWh. I have yet to see a home built this century without 150A service or greater, because folks love their Christmas lights in the winter. I agree with the neglect, but charging EVs will make power companies rich, and they are not going to ignore the new market. The grid will fix itself thanks to good old fashioned capitalism.

In this context if you're in an older neighborhood built say 100 years ago, and the demand for power increases by say 20%, does that affect the infrastructure? Can our current setup handle that increase? New neighborhoods they're building with an increase in demand as the standard. It's a good point though on homes, but I think the nature of the question comes from my current load increasing in my current house, and if everyone's did, could we handle it?

This is what makes me wonder how we adapt? Or is this just a trend on the EV world?

Interesting point. But, I've never seen an existing neighborhood get upgraded lines to handle a bigger load? Or am I ignorant on the matter and the lines are fine it's just the source? Genuinely wondering.

huh?

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast when charging EV, there is a 15% lost. Meaning if you need to put 8.5kWh into better, the actual energy from grip drawn is 10kWh. I wonder if this lost exist in home back up battery

meh

I've heard great things about them!

Power Wall lol

A typo, that's what it is. Haha. Thanks for the heads up. ;)

That seems like a pretty large system no? How big of a house do you have?

If your house uses that much energy, You should get more power walls and panels.

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast 2000 FT^2. Two Tesla power walls.

@@ahbushnell1 wow. So average sized house. Interesting. You run ac? Or are you guys able to run swamp coolers?

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast We have a heat pump. Running the AC in a blackout would eat more energy.

Enlighten me, what is net metering?

Where you can send back exccess electricity for credits/money.

@@TheLivinginDenverPodcast Net metering is the purchase price and selling price of electricity is the same. So if you export juice during the day you can buy it back at night for the same price. But for people who put in solar now that's no longer the case. You sell wholesale and buy retail. So a battery helps with that you can save your juice for the night.

@@YR2050 gotcha, I thought that might be it, but I was being googling lazy. :)

@@ahbushnell1 wait. So can you not charge your batteries at night at a cheaper rate than during the day now? Or is this 2 different things?

How am I wrong? Or is history wrong?
