As Ari Matusiak of @rewiringamerica notes, cutting home energy efficiency tax credits when energy demand is skyrocketing would make all of our problems worse — and increase energy costs for everybody.

Serving as your Governor has been the honor of a lifetime. And tonight, we elected @JoshStein_ to keep moving us forward. He has the steady hand, the clear-eyed vision, and the servant’s heart to help make North Carolina stronger than ever.

@JesseJenkins Congrats! Well deserved

[Zach Pierce @Zachmpierce]

💡 SB 1221 is a win-win: communities get free upgrades to modern electric appliances, utility customers avoid millions in spending on soon-to-be-obsolete gas pipelines. Thank you, @GavinNewsom, for supporting this smart, forward-thinking legislation!

TY #CALeg for passing @SenDaveMin's #SB1221 to help CA utility customers save $:
✅Lower bills w/ energy efficient heat pumps
✅Lifesaving cooling
✅Prioritize vulnerable communities
@GavinNewsom, sign this bill to benefit all Californians!

#CALeg, don’t cut #Solar programs for low and middle income families and school energy efficiency programs. We shouldn’t raid SGIP, SOMAH and CalSHAPE funding when we need to accelerate #CleanEnergy deployment. @AsmCottie @AsmGreggHart @CASpeakerRivas @ilike_mike @GavinNewsom

You've heard of a ribbon cutting? Well, here's a front porch ribbon cutting celebrating another heat pump installed in CO thanks to lots of tax credits. Thanks @GovofCO @kcbecker @CityofDenver @rewiringamerica for recognizing 2-yr mark of fed climate bill https://t.co/LHEEHXvH4N

[Zach Pierce @Zachmpierce]

In CA, utility gas bills could soar to over $600 per month without decisive action. State leaders must pass #SB1221 to expand decarbonization pilots and work on a long-term plan to transition away from gas in an equitable way!

It's an exciting day for community-driven climate solutions! Congrats to all awardees! @rewiringamerica was proud to support two of the successful applications totaling $650M for building electrification⚡️🏠🏢

[U.S. EPA @EPA]

📣 Congratulations to the selected applicants! We've selected 25 applicants to receive over $4.3 billion in grants to carry out community-driven solutions that tackle the climate crisis, reduce air pollution, and advance environmental justice.

Today, I joined @rewiringamerica to unveil their new Nevada Savings Calculator alongside @solupnv, all to help southern Nevadans save on energy costs.

I’m glad to see Nevada benefiting from investments I helped make possible with the Inflation Reduction Act.

[Rewiring America @rewiringamerica]

When you upgrade your Nevada home to electric appliances, you can save money, live more comfortably, and make a big climate impact.

🚨Replacing aging gas pipelines in CA costs $3 million per mile–paid for by gas utility customers. Utilities can redirect this 💰 towards neighborhood-scale decarbonization and save ratepayers $20 billion in the next decade. @NRDC @AsmCottie #PassSB1221 https://t.co/vbYwUZjhWd

[Aimee Witteman @AimeeWitteman]

Cool job alert!! Join @rewiringamerica as our new Federal Policy Director. Lead our efforts to defend, implement, and expand federal policies to accelerate residential electrification and be a part of our brilliant policy team! https://t.co/Una3OIie1d

[Zach Pierce @Zachmpierce]

REPORT: California could save $20B by choosing electrification over gas pipeline replacements, says a new analysis by @NRDC and @ethree_inc. #CALeg can begin to realize these savings by supporting SB1221, which will launch pilot projects.
