1 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,400 So with the support of our friends at Octopus Energy, we're 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,880 launching a new segment called Ask Jigger. 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,640 Yeah, the idea is exactly what it sounds like. 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,920 You send in your energy questions, and I answer them on 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,920 the show. And the ones I can't answer, 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,680 Jamie answers. And, like, it's stuff you've 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,720 actually been sitting with. Like, why is my bill double what 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,720 it was yesterday? You know, should I go solar now 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,760 or wait? Like, what the heck is going on 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,880 with nuclear? Right? 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,560 Why would people possibly, you know, value a company with no 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,000 revenues at $10 billion? Like whatever is bugging you, 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,080 I'll give you a straight answer. Awesome. 14 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,040 Well, since I'm here, I'm just going to go ahead and go 1st and 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,880 ask you the first question. With all the talk about 16 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,920 switching to electric everything, heat pumps, EVs, 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,520 induction stoves, that's the one thing I haven't done. 18 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,160 Where do you actually start? Like say someone wants to 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,920 electrify their life, what's the first thing that they should do? 20 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,680 Well, I think the first thing I tell people is not to throw out 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,519 stuff that works. Like it's amazing to me how many 22 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,000 people are like, but I'm guilty like I just want to like replace 23 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,040 my my stuff with electrify everything. 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,200 And I was like, your car still works. 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,320 Don't get rid of it until you're ready to buy a new car, right. 26 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,480 Your your air conditioning and heating system still work. 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,640 Don't get rid of it until you're ready to get a new one. 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,480 Right on the stove thing. You know, I think that's a 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,280 personal choice. I don't know if the stoves ever 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,840 break. At least I've never had one that 31 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,880 broke. But like the induction sale 32 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,640 thing is hard though. Like it took my it took me three 33 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,000 years to convince my wife that an induction stove wouldn't make 34 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,160 the food taste different. And we have that vacation house 35 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,600 up in Deep Creek Lake, MD. And so we started with induction 36 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,440 stove there and she loves it. And so now she's like, this is 37 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,000 great. But we have this like really 38 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,720 fancy Wolf stove at in our Bethesda house and so like, 39 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,840 she's not moving away from that anytime soon. 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Awesome. Thank you. 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,360 Great answer and thank you for relieving me and my guilt about 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,400 my my only gas appliance I have in my house. 43 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,400 I'm going to it is a newer stove. 44 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,600 I think I'm going to hang on to it. 45 00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:11,039 All right, so we want your questions. 46 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,720 Submit your question at octopusenergy.com/ask Dash like 47 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,480 Hyphen Jigger and the link is in the show notes. 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,880 Thanks so much, as always for tuning in. 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,920 You can find Energy Empire wherever you get your podcasts, 50 00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:28,280 Apple Podcasts, Spotify.
