Electrical service companies here are pushing heat pumps really hard due to the environmental wackos' pressure. On the other hand we have tons of dams producing electricity, but a lot of them are slated to be demolished in order to save a few salmon...

FWIW, heat pump technology and efficiency has improved quite a bit since the 80s and 90s. They've long held a rep about how they can't really perform under 40F but over the last decade, that's being erased. A well insulated home (which is the larger issue with A LOT of homes, especially older ones) can do just fine with a modern pump.

SOLICITING ON THE HOOP IS FROWNED UPON
 
First mlb game of the season today....not even sure who the Mets are playing
 
This is funny.
From Fox News:

"Bonilla had a chance to redeem himself with the Mets when he was traded back to them before the 1999 season. However, he only played in 60 games, struggled immensely, and got into numerous arguments with manager Bobby Valentine. Given the circumstances, the Mets released him, yet still owed him the $5.9 million remaining in his contract.

This is where the conception of Bobby Bonilla Day begins.

Instead of paying him the rest of the money owed, the Mets and Bonilla negotiated a deal to make annual payments of just under $1.2 million every July 1 from 2011 to 2035, when Bonilla will be 72, which included a negotiated 8% interest.

So, why did the Mets decide to pony up close to $30 million over the long haul instead of simply handing over the $5.9 million? Well, then-owner Fred Wilpon had invested with Ponzi-scheme artist Bernie Madoff and expected double-digit returns on the deal, which did not happen and Wilpon wound up with the short end of the stick.

It's been reported that Wilpon lost roughly $700 million through Madoff, who was jailed in 2009 and spent the rest of his life in prison."
