This morning, @CBSMornings ran a story on gas stoves to 2.5 million viewers.

Did they mention gas stoves increase the risk of asthma? No.

Did they question a gas industry rep who claimed gas is "clean and safe"? No.

Instead they spread fossil fuel industry lies.

The heat storm is getting worse by the day. Tuesday looks terrifying.

The CA grid simply does not have enough generation to meet demand.

Without big conservation across CA, there will almost certainly be rolling blackouts.

California had its first @flexalert of 2022 last week. With over 200 MWs on standby, @ohmconnect was ready and we performed! But this also about CA’s broken #demandresponse and how we were underutilized and paid 11% per kWh of what Tesla got paid.

The weird thing about bemoaning the cost of climate policy is how do you calculate the value of hundreds of millions of lives, human society on Earth, keeping entire island nations from being swallowed by the sea? It’s absurd.

Yesterday, an interim, unelected DA fired 15 public servants committed to justice.

People who fight corruption; hold police accountable; protect the innocent; correct injustices; and promote transparency.

These firings are revealing. 🧵

VICTORY!

Helping with a gut rehab electrification in Lakewood Ohio.

City and electrician were demanding a 400 amp service, a $10K upgrade.

I said no way that more than 200 is needed. Client had a detailed calc done by an electrical engineer.

150 amps. Boom.

Facebook just rejected our ad for #WattItTakes because the phrase “carbon-free future” is a “sensitive social issue”.

Building a livable planet isn't controversial. And talking about it certainly shouldn’t be restricted.

@Facebook, this needs to change.

A Heat Pump Policy Thread:

What if we paid resi HVAC manufacturers ~$400 per AC they manufacture if they make all of their production heat pumps?

Currently US OEMs make ~5M ACs and ~3M heat pumps. What if they were all heat pumps?

This might only cost ~$10 billion over 4 yrs

Wall/floor furnace to ductless minisplit

Central ducted furnace & AC to Central ducted heat pump.

Agree that it would be nice to see more federal/state incentives here. The above doesn’t help if you’re outside of the Bay Area.
