Most of us still burn fossil fuels to heat our buildings, make hot water, cook, and dry our laundry. Towards that end, we have been giving many presentations on how federal and state incentives can make home electrification more affordable and how a Clean Heat Standard (CHS) would set us on a steady path toward zeroing out those emissions.
