Welcome to the club. We took our oil furnace out and went full in for heat pumps 11 years ago. We've never looked back. The system was paid off a few years ago. We keep the house warmer with no guilt.

I will also say that when I got off the plane coming back from Louisiana and landed in Syracuse, NY. My first thought leaving the airport terminal and stepping outside, "wow, this air is amazing!!" Those people are all being poisoned 24/7. We all know that.

One of the main reasons to vaccinate everyone is to provide herd immunity for the entire population, which helps protect the most vulnerable members of our society. Interestingly, NY Times article does not mention herd immunity.

Let's be very clear: the science is overwhelming in support of vaccinating everyone. Herd immunity. I challenge RFKjr to look up what that means. His ignorant decision will kill a large number of people. His ignorance kills.

The conclusion from that article: "The oil bulls knew that China was a problem. But few have recognized that India may be a bigger problem." This is fantastic news. And the real path to energy security for India, unlike what Goldman is pitching.
