Grateful to the @AirDistrict Board for electing me Board Chair for 2023. I have championed development of the world’s first zero NOx emissions rule for water heaters & furnaces these past few years and look forward to bringing it before the Board for adoption in early 2023.
Such a fun surprise to share this milestone moment with @RachelEGolden ! Looking forward to a future where we can all have homes free of polluting gas!
While strategizing on national gas appliance regulations with @denisegrab, PG&E showed up to remove my gas meter!

🚨HOT OFF THE PRESS: @RMIBuildings new roadmap shows how the U.S. can achieve 0️⃣ #EmbodiedCarbon emissions from federal 🏛 projects by 2050 and ⬇ emissions by a cumulative 17M tons of CO2, equivalent to removing 3.6M 🚘 from the road for a year. bit.ly/3fUtksh 🧵 ⬇️

#DYK last week California became the first state to commit to ending the sale of polluting furnaces and water heaters! Which state will be next? #electrify #buildings

I’m not a graphic design expert, but I feel like this isn’t quite the message they were going for #MessesThePlanet?

BDC Executive Director @panamaredhat caught up with @RepKatiePorter and @SecGranholm to discuss climate-friendly technologies that will be incentivized under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) 👇🏼
.@RepKatiePorter is right: There are lots of misconceptions about clean energy appliances + home upgrades—esp. around cost. Through @POTUS' Inflation Reduction Act, we're making 🌎-friendly, health-friendly home upgrades budget-friendly too.

Kudos to @AirResources for the historic measure of ending the sale of gas space and water heaters by 2030. A first-in-the nation step reflecting California’s continued efforts to improve air quality & achieve carbon neutrality
Today: BIG milestone for clean & healthy homes+buildings! CA @AirResources is poised to adopt the nation's first commitment to end the sale of polluting fossil fuel appliances. A 🧵

Like the Clean Car Standards that have jump started the market for Electric Vehicles, CA's commitment to Clean Appliance Standards will speed the pathway toward clean, efficient, healthy, and cool new Heat Pumps nytimes.com/wirecutter/guide…
Paired with the billions of dollars of federal funding from the IRA for heat pumps and home weatherization, this commitment to emissions-free appliances couldn't come at a better time rmi.org/the-inflation-reduct…

“It’s really important that low-income communities have equal, if not first, access to [heat pumps + other clean technologies]."- @RockyMtnInst's @denisegrab on why we need:
✔️ Lower upfront costs
✔️ More renter access
✔️ Stable electricity rates
✔️ A trained green workforce ⤵️
Ditching fossil-gas furnaces and water heaters isn’t just good for the climate. Research shows it’s a smart move for human health. Reporting by @jeffsaintjohn: bit.ly/3dvQCnG

NEW: @RockyMtnInst analysis shows that the #InflationReductionAct could drastically change our built environment by unleashing MILLIONS of retrofits, upgrades & #CleanTech installations.

Between CA setting an end date for the sale of fossil-fired cars and Congress investing $369B in climate action, I've got a strange sensation that's starting to feel like hope 🤩
CA is leading the U.S. & the 🌎 with a regulation that sets ambitious but achievable targets for #ZEV sales. Increasing⬆️the number of #ZEVs on our roads will deliver #cleanair for all Californians, especially those near roadways & persistent #airpollution.
