When Coal First Arrived, Americans Said 'No Thanks'
Back in the 19th century, coal was the nation's newfangled fuel source—and it faced the same resistance as wind and solar todaywww.smithsonianmag.com

Yeah it was.
I thought it was fitting for today’s sentiments towards renewables.
My father told me a story about his father almost burning their house down with a coal furnace back in the mid 20’s when some dampers malfunctioned. Now we’re gonna be burning our houses down with EV’s malfunctioning.

Nice coal article. Thanks. It is indeed hilarious how many feel the need to buck all things new. Old fogyism and pessimism are 2 things i hope i do not contract. They seem to be contagious too. Sad. EVs are the wave of the future - and a really cool thing on top of that.

No, I can find no reference to heat/cool cycles affecting propylene glycol. Air and UV affects. It is biodegradable. But not affected by electrical processes.
Antifreeze in ICE applications is replaced to replenish the anticorrosion package.
A good example to compare would be the coolant in a geothermal heat pump. A brief search failed to return a hard answer, but a "soft" answer was 15 years.

I like change and change is about all I have in my pocket lately. Inflation is taking everything else...
