So with the support of our friends at Octopus Energy, we're
launching a new segment called Ask Jigger.
Yeah, the idea is exactly what it sounds like.
You send in your energy questions, and I answer them on
the show. And the ones I can't answer,
Jamie answers. And, like, it's stuff you've
actually been sitting with. Like, why is my bill double what
it was yesterday? You know, should I go solar now
or wait? Like, what the heck is going on
with nuclear? Right?
Why would people possibly, you know, value a company with no
revenues at $10 billion? Like whatever is bugging you,
I'll give you a straight answer. Awesome.
Well, since I'm here, I'm just going to go ahead and go 1st and
ask you the first question. With all the talk about
switching to electric everything, heat pumps, EVs,
induction stoves, that's the one thing I haven't done.
Where do you actually start? Like say someone wants to
electrify their life, what's the first thing that they should do?
Well, I think the first thing I tell people is not to throw out
stuff that works. Like it's amazing to me how many
people are like, but I'm guilty like I just want to like replace
my my stuff with electrify everything.
And I was like, your car still works.
Don't get rid of it until you're ready to buy a new car, right.
Your your air conditioning and heating system still work.
Don't get rid of it until you're ready to get a new one.
Right on the stove thing. You know, I think that's a
personal choice. I don't know if the stoves ever
break. At least I've never had one that
broke. But like the induction sale
thing is hard though. Like it took my it took me three
years to convince my wife that an induction stove wouldn't make
the food taste different. And we have that vacation house
up in Deep Creek Lake, MD. And so we started with induction
stove there and she loves it. And so now she's like, this is
great. But we have this like really
fancy Wolf stove at in our Bethesda house and so like,
she's not moving away from that anytime soon.
Awesome. Thank you.
Great answer and thank you for relieving me and my guilt about
my my only gas appliance I have in my house.
I'm going to it is a newer stove.
I think I'm going to hang on to it.
All right, so we want your questions.
