The exhaustive videos about dishwashers guy is back to tell you about awnings.
I love the guy and the technology aspect of it all but I cringe when he goes on about energy savings. Doesn't matter how much water the dishwasher is using or if he's running the heat-pump to cool his house during the day.
The only true energy saving hack is not living in a giant fucking house to begin with, not filling it with appliances and crap, not driving a car to and from. Simple not eating meat is probably a bigger energy saver than most of these "hacks".
What we need is a technology revolutions channel, where he talks about the thermal mass of an earth-ship, harvesting rainwater and repurposing grey water, growing beans on meager soil, how to quad-copter and radio communications, the efficiency of a bicycle chain vs belt drive and small scale agricultural machinery from japan.
Ok but he literally doesn't run the AC during the day, he did a whole video on it which he alluded to in this one where he explains that he overcools his house at night so it's tolerable by the end of the day. Also he lives in a townhouse, which he said in the video as well.

Even here on hexbear I get incredible levels of pushback simply telling people to stop driving.
Are you suggesting I actually go inside the building to order my hourly burger?
I swear it's like telling redditors to eat vegetables
