Two Birds, One Stone
Before I begin this article, I must emphasize a few things. One, this is not a defense, nor condemnation of the actions these sailors have taken.

It is but a start for more critical thinking about these cases, and others like it.

10+ Most FAQs About Air-Sourced Heat Pump Water Heaters
After the upgrade, how much energy savings can I expect? There are several factors (like local climate, amount of daily water usage and energy tariff) that influence the amount of energy savings. Heat pump powered water heaters are 200–350% more energy-efficient (and consume 60–75% less electricity) than heating element based resistance water heaters. A typical 190 litres heat pump water heater consumes about 2.5 kWh/day. If we extrapolate this data, you’d get $182.5 (@20 cents/kWh) energy bill for water heating in a year. A conventional 190 litres electric resistance water heater consumes about 10KWh/day and, 3650 kWh a year — which equals to $730 (@20 cents/kWh) in a year. So, the heat pump in this case would save you about $547 in a year.

Climate Change is a Security Issue, President Insists
February 27th (Newport News, VA) – The President wants the country to focus in on five very specific scientific endeavors; ones that the administration says will tackle “the current real security problems and human toll due to climate change”, but will also set the United States up for a long-term future. By attempting to frame these issues both as “security” and “climate change”, the President seems to be hoping to woo enough Republicans and Democrats into supporting a common cause, even if it is for entirely different reasons.
