Bloomberg recently noted Catios are popular. What they ignored is that most are JUNK. Made from 3D printers, and unsafe materials that won't handle weatherization. NOT OURS. We make ours from outdoor construction-grade materials. Don't waste your money! bestwindowcatio.com #cats #bloomberg #catio

With minimum viable scale of hydrocarbon economies (h/t @jlappen1.bsky.social, @gruberte.bsky.social) coming in our lifetime and the magic of s-curves, electric climate control will be the cheapest option. Right now, maintain your gas heat and try to use less. Begin with WX (weatherization).

Minneapolis Mayor Frey proposes to boost police budget $21 million (+9%) and cut home weatherization (to lower housing costs, energy waste, and climate change) by $4 million (-40%).

This 2023 article describes the program he wants to cut.

Minneapolis will hike gas and electric bills. Here's where that $10 million will go.
Minneapolis' climate response funding will first focus on weatherizing older homes for people who can't afford it.

Government program, but maybe this can help some folks with heating assistance?

Still need weatherization, tools, linens etc. The costs add up quick especially on SSI. 350 lot rent, 300 for buying this current RV. That's 650 out of my SSI of 994. So please help. www.walmart.com/lists/wishli... #HelpSky #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive2026 #DisabilityMutualAid

Agreed - and the program should include deep subsidies to retrofit low income households (including weatherization and needed home repairs), a back up heating source for when the electricity goes out (especially in rural regions), and the preservation of the fuel assistance program (LIHEAP).

Electric utilities would gladly pay for that. Even in Oregon, entrenched oil interests and burdensome state bureaucracy has kept policy changes from happening. Start with liheap weatherization funds. They are perfect for this.

You missed the point. We want to get Republicans to take that money away from ICE! By making Republicans vote AGAINST military families, national parks (& all the vendors dependent on them) + the jobs created by the weatherization work you nail Rs to the wall if they vote No!

Again. It depends on the specific upgrade. Not all weatherization is cheap.

Going from single to double-pain windows costs less and has a greater impact (shorter ROI) than going from double to triple-pane. Both cost thousands. Adding insulation, replacing doors, etc. can all be even more expensive.

If you only look at heat pumps and solar arrays vs EVs, ok. I’m looking at all home weatherization items which have much lower individual costs
