Happy new bike day!!!

Vermont has always been a “green” state in more ways than one! Efficiency VT has great programs but Burlington has a $5450 rebate for heat pumps! www.burlingtonelectric.com/heatpumps

Bicycle odometer that reads 12,119 miles

Missed it but yesterday was my Urban Arrow’s 5th birthday! Happy birthday Slam!

Oh wow congratulations! Now you need that car seat adapter thingy for the UA. 😎

Indeed. I read a book about Lyme called the first epidemic of climate change. Came out in 2018. 😞

Water Energy Rebates Get rebates on eligible heat pump water heaters to save energy at home

Virginia doesn’t have super great rebates but I appreciate anything that is up front so you don’t have to wait for a check. $400 upfront rebate for a heat pump water heater from Dominion. www.domsavings.com/home-program...

Ductless heat pumps - UT - Wattsmart Home

Utah residents with electric resistance heating will save lots of money by switching to a heat pump. Rocky Mountain Power has a rebate up to $1700 for that. wattsmarthomes.com/rebates/duct...

Texas! Austin Energy has tons of great rebates plus financing with a local credit union if you want to get things installed before the federal tax credits are gone. $800 upfront rebates on heat pump water heaters too. savings.austinenergy.com/residential/...

This!! Gas utilities know this is going to happen, it’s in their PUC filings. Fewer people to spread fixed costs—prices go up for the remaining customers.

Tennessee! Basically everyone in TN gets their power through the TVA, which has nice programs. Thinking of replacing an aging A/C? Get a heat pump instead! energyright.com/residential/...

Three brochures of German Netto retailer showing price offers for balcony solar units. First is from October 2024 with price 299,99 Euros. Two others are from February and June 2025 respectively and both show a price of 239,99 euro. #Balkonkraftwerk #Balkonsolar #Steckersolar #pluginSolar

Looks like prices for simple #BalconySolar systems have hit rock bottom in Germany.
A simple 830Wp set with 2x 415W PV panels, plug-in microinverter is now 240€. Same price as February.

That's 0,29€ or 0,34US$ per Wp.

A year ago the price was 300€.
Systems with battery are still getting cheaper.

RIP writer Flannery O’Connor, died this day 1964.

“The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.”

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd.”

“All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful.”

I’ve been annoyed for a while that they never accept MACH

Little Women. Ugly tears when Amy burns Jo’s book. It’s the fact that sisters know how to cut you the deepest that gets me.

Gah. I’m sorry. It boggles my mind how much time we force grant seekers to spend developing grants and then if/once they get them, handling compliance for them.

I love this. And for those who want children, knowing that a partner already has the ability and desire to be self giving means they will play the role of father well.

We have also worked with partners to offer 0% financing so you can get a new heating and cooling system right now rather than having to wait (and potentially missing the deal).

Rhode Island! We have a special discount we negotiated with an equipment manufacturer, plus Clean Heat Rhode Island pays 60% rebate for heat pumps. We hold your hand every step of the way. Replacing fuel oil will save $$$. homes.rewiringamerica.org/ri

Eww. How about riding the bus and talking to real people? This person does not seem open to learning new things or listening to constituents. Would love to be proven wrong

Oof yeah. bsky.app/profile/mpus...

PA: not a ton of great deals but if you use First Energy and your water heater is 10-15 years old, there is a $500 upfront rebate on heat pump water heaters. That means you just buy it at a local retailer for a discount and not wait for a check later! rebates.energysavepa.com/heat-pump-wa...

As electricity systems face rising strain, aging grids, load growth and policy uncertainty, local governments must play a greater role in shaping the future of energy.

Hear insights from leaders across city government, energy policy, and sustainability.

Sorry to be lagging on the updates, will share PA and RI programs tomorrow. Sneak peek is that Rewiring America has a special offer for Rhode Islanders!
