passivhaus retrofits and heat pumps solve this
Europe is America's biggest customer for fossil gas exports, by a pretty decent margin. One hell of a time to be directly antagonising and alienating the key customer for the already-shaky LNG boom in the US

Hey MTA/NYC DOT – this also works with direct platform-to-street elevator retrofits
No room for a headhouse for your station exit? Instead of buying land and demolishing buildings, just put it in the street and close it to cars.

e-bikes and passivhaus retrofits instead of fossil fuel subsidies, when?
Wouldn't it be cool to invest trillions of dollars into a technology that would actually make society better?
Maybe we can call it “HI” — Human Intelligence.
Instead of “data centers”, we could fund “schools”.
Instead of *stealing* art, literature, and science, we help people *create* it.
Crazy!

I've heard from countless Oregonians getting clobbered by high utility bills. I'm pressing PGE on its recent rate hikes that are further squeezing families walking an economic tightrope.
Sen. Wyden calls on Oregon's largest electric utility to detail true drivers of massive rate hikes • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Wyden wrote to Portland General Electric’s CEO requesting data on load growth and how the company has used historic federal subsidies.

If you know anyone who wants to greenlight This Old Electrified House, my reality tv show about green home retrofits, get in touch…
A huge hurdle to home electrification is that we* do a shit job of telling the story of what it would mean for people to adopt clean energy tech at home.
*It would help if we did a better job mapping who the "we" is, e.g. the actors who influence adoption (something we're working on here rn)
