I changed out both elements in my electrc water back in late August. Had to change the bottom one out again today.

    Cool, when those heating elements are shipped over here via bunker fuel. I’ll bet a boatload of those coming over is more emissions than running a NG burner for a decade

      Except it’s not a boat transporting one heating element, but thousands upon thousands of other things. To accurately quantify emissions you’ll need to divide the ship’s total emissions by the # of products on board, likely making transport emissions from a single heating element negligible and easily surpassed by burning methane in your house constantly every day forever

        Ah yes, thousands and of other products built to be as or more disposable than the first element that blew.

        Why do the boats keep coming, filled to the brim with garbage you never actually needed?
