The Congressional Budget Office estimates that: "The manufacturing sector was responsible for 12% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. **About 75% of those emissions came from burning fuel to create heat**, and the rest were by-products of industrial processes that transform materials into products."
Note: Most low to moderate temperature heat demands could be satisfied with heat pumps rather than burning fuel.

My current laptop, a T470 (32G SSD, 4core i7) I love, but its almost 8 yrs old (?) and it runs VMs kinda badly. Everything else about it is great, so Im looking at replacement (referb) Thinkpads from 2021/2022. Any suggestions on things to look out for since I really can't say WHY vm's run kinda slow? I assume its CPU related, or thats what top tells me. I have a x230 that is awesomely portable, but even worse with VMs.Fedora SwayWM on both.

“Unlike the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, those who do not vote or refrain from voting do not threaten violence. Nor do they obstruct the functioning of a governmental institution.
Yet through their inaction, they too impair the political freedom of America that arises from the democratic character of its government and thus violate their elemental duty of citizenship.
We vote to preserve democracy and thus our own freedom.”
