However, amidst the terrifying future lies the potential for positive transformation. This article explores the signs and implications of the multi-system tipping point we have reached.
Heat pumps outperform boilers and furnaces — even in the cold
Learn how heat pumps can effectively handle cold climates and outperform fossil-fuel heating systems, as highlighted by a recent study in Joule. With the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, heat pumps have the potential to replace traditional heating methods. The study analyzed data from multiple countries, showing that heat pumps can achieve high levels of efficiency even in extreme cold temperatures. Find out more about their performance and the advantages they offer.
The fight over California community solar: ‘It’s everyone vs. utilities’
Community solar and storage in California could be a game-changer for clean energy and affordable housing. A coalition is urging regulators to implement the Net Value Billing Tariff (NVBT) to revamp the state’s community solar market and unlock its potential. With the NVBT, California could become a leader in community solar, enabling the development of 8 GW of solar paired with batteries. This expansion would bring cheaper and cleaner power to households that cannot install rooftop solar, including low-income households and renters. The NVBT is different from previous programs as it does not have capacity caps and requires battery installation to help balance the grid.
