The Day the Town Blew Up Last fall, a sudden gas-pipeline accident destroyed dozens of homes near Boston: 141 fires, five explosions, 21 serious injuries, and one deathβ€” in a single evening.

I like to point out that electrified buildings don't suffer from gas explosions nor carbon monoxide poisonings.

The Renewable Illusion: Why Fossil Fuels Keep Winning Global renewables hit records in 2024, but fossil fuel use still rises. Here’s why solar’s surge isn’t enoughβ€”and what the latest energy data really shows.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧡

Congress is attacking D.C.’s climate deception lawsuit against Big Oil.

It’s part of a bigger effort by fossil fuel companies and their allies to get a legal shield from accountability.

Zohran Mamdani Made Addressing Climate Change Central to His Affordability Plan for New York - Inside Climate News The official winner of the city’s Democratic mayoral primary has a record of fighting polluting natural gas infrastructure and supports Local Law 97 to cut carbon emissions from city buildings.

If @governor.ny.gov had smart advisors, she could not only reduce crippling pollution and energy costs, but also benefit politically. But her core team seems to love fracked gas and pipelines.

The U.S. Under Trump: Alone in Its Climate Denial

President Trump is doing more than just turning a blind eye to the fact that the planet is growing hotter. He is weakening the U.S.'s capacity to understand global warming and to prepare for its consequences.

Has Maine learned how to make heat pumps lower electricity costs for… Heat pump adoption in the state has soared. Now a new state energy-efficiency plan aims to accelerate the trend to cut emissions and control power prices.

As more heat pumps come online, the grid's fixed costs are spread out over more kilowatt-hours, lowering bills for the average consumer.
Another less appreciated way in which #NYHEAT would potentially lower utility bills.

Why is your energy bill so high? Blame natural gas volatility and utility profits The cost of natural gas infrastructure, generous utility profits, and the region’s continued fossil fuel investments left us ill-equipped to deal with an exceptionally cold winter.

Gas utilities make more $ replacing pipes than selling gas. We’re paying for gas infrastructure we don’t need.

The #NYHEATAct would cap bills, stop expansion, and fund clean heat when it’s cheaper.
