A new life for old coal plants 🏭☀️🔋

I wrote about how aging and defunct coal-burning power plants — squeezed out by cheaper renewables, gas & tougher emissions regulations — have become unusually valuable in the transition to zero-emissions energy.

MA needs to get with the times. Let’s bring the Bay State into the 21st century by passing @MarjorieDecker and @cindycreem’s #BetterBottleBill. #mapoli

I spent too long working on @heatpumpchic this weekend looking for pictures of heat pumps. It turns out procrastination applies to side projects too.

Anyway, here's a 🧵 of heat pumps that look like George Clooney 1/

@Jessica_Wahl_ @mikefsway @heatpumpchic Oh my goodness, someone finally cracked the code! 🥵

Here's the recording from yesterday's great panel discussion, "How to make your home a clean energy home": https://t.co/xfySmgZlDb

[Johanna Neumann @NeumannJo]

Loved hearing @learngineer celebrate #CleanEnergyHomesDay by talking about the first step to electrifying everything in your home: Making a plan. His organization, @rewiringamerica has a great guide to help people do just that.

Me when gas prices are low vs me when gas prices are high ⛽️

You don’t have to be jealous of my induction stove, because you can get one too!!😜

Happy #CleanEnergyHomesDay. To start your electrification journey, check out @rewiringamerica’s guide: https://t.co/HufPixdMoV

Replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy is the right choice.

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

Today, we’re celebrating #CleanEnergyHomesDay with @EnvAm! To build a future that runs on 100% renewable energy, we have to repower our homes with clean electric appliances like heat pumps and induction cooktops. Join us from 1-2 PM ET to learn more! https://t.co/ycK9DyhVmz

gas prices are high but guess how much it costs to refuel these 2 puppies? a good night sleep and a cup of joe! let’s get walkin!!

[Brynn Furey @BrynnFurey]

Ever wonder what it would be like if your home ran on 100% renewable energy? Join @EnvAm & @uspirg on Wed. 3/9 from 1-2 PM ET for a discussion about clean energy homes. We'll have opening remarks from Sen. @MartinHeinrich followed by an expert panel. https://t.co/z3OFLCOoDD

I have listened to talk about "weatherizing your home" for over a decade, but I literally just did it and its NUTS how underutilized it is. You can make *enormous* efficiency gains for relatively little cost and the house gets more comfortable, too!

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

Our fossil fuel dependence helps Russia buy weapons to wage their unjustified war.

We’ve got to end our reliance on dirty energy.

[Alexander C. Kaufman @AlexCKaufman]

After U.S. cities voted for greener building codes, gas utilities gutted some of the most ambitious codes and industry lobbied to revoke governments' right to vote.

They won. Now a gas utility is meddling even more.

Advocates say it's a huge problem.

10. Advance energy efficiency initiatives. The🔑 to maximizing the benefits of an all-electric building is to make sure it is using energy as efficiently as possible. Ex: In the last year, RI, NV, & OR have passed new/updated appliance efficiency standards to reduce energy waste.

[Brynn Furey @BrynnFurey]

Forward-looking cities and towns across America are forging the path to electric buildings. A new guide by @EnvAm & @USPIRG shows how others can join the movement. Here's Ten Ways Your Community Can Go All-Electric, a🧵. https://t.co/6IGEMHMKJ7 #ElectrifyEverything

[Brynn Furey @BrynnFurey]

9. Support state & federal policy. We can make even more progress on all-electric buildings when state and federal policies are on our side. Ex: ME passed legislation that set a goal of installing 100k heat pumps by 2025. In just one year, 27k+ heat pumps were installed.
