The Inflation Reduction Act -- one year old today! -- is a major step for heat pump deployment. But as we're finding in research for a forthcoming paper with @CLASPappliances, states will have to build on the IRA's programs. raponline.org/blog/the-ira-i…

The IRA Includes a Big Push for Heat Pumps, But States Can Do Even More

The Inflation Reduction Act was a major step for deployment of energy-efficient heat pumps, but state policies can add to the push.

@GlennYoungkin has now blown a manufacturing renaissance in TWO rural Va counties: first Hyundai, now Ford, as rest of the South pulls ahead. EV factory stats: TN +2 (incl. biggest auto plant in US history) KY +2 WV +2 NC +2 MD +2 VA -2 Thanks Glenn cardinalnews.org/2023/01/13/…

In every single renewable energy thread someone points out that during days of low wind and little solar gas and coal generators ramp up. But without renewables we would burn much more expensive gas and goal. And increasingly we use storage, interconnectors and demand response.

Aren’t there five decent Republicans in the House who will announce they won’t vote for anyone for Speaker who doesn’t denounce their party’s current leader, Donald Trump, for consorting with the repulsive neo-Nazi Fuentes?

#RGGI has been a game-changer for low-income Virginians. Hear from #VAEEC Executive Director Chelsea Harnish in our recent op-ed: virginiamercury.com/2022/08/…

Electrification of existing housing stock is a big mountain to climb, and every home is different. Our proposal to swap AC to heat pumps opens a path. @CLASPappliances and @RegAssistProj have a new paper about how this works. Check it out: clasp.ngo/research/all/ac-to…

Combating High Fuel Prices with Hybrid Heating: The Case for Swapping Air Conditioners for Heat...

This report offers a strategy to kickstart home electrification in the US by swapping traditional air conditioners (AC) to two-way heat pumps that can both heat and cool indoor spaces.
