That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive
minus-square@Critical_Insight@feddit.ukOPlinkfedilinkEnglish8•edit-26 months agoPolyurethane is better insulator, doesn’t absorb moisture and doesn’t require a vapor barrier but is also much more expensive.
