"there are reasons to think that the fuel’s glory days are waning fast. A CleanTechnica analysis of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline gives credit to activists for their relentless fight but also to the home heat pump, which uses modest amounts of electricity to heat homes and water. This electric appliance is common in much of the world, but is only now catching on in the United States. According to the report, as of 2019 heat pumps accounted for 40% of new single family resident...ial construction and 50% of new multi-family buildings. That’s because the device works better than its alternatives: it uses far less energy to quietly heat or cool a building than a gas furnace. (Despite its name, a heat pump also works as an ultra-efficient air-conditioner, which is useful given the current relentless heat wave that forecasters have said will be hitting most of the country for multiple weeks.) Like an electric car, a heat pump is simply a more elegant technology, not to mention cheaper to operate. Yes, inertia will keep many people from making the switch in their existing homes, unless good government policy makes it easier. But such policies are not hard to imagine, and the Rocky Mountain Institute lays out some proposals in a new report, highlighting a Maine initiative to install a hundred thousand pumps around the state in the years to come."

Please Read! The North Brooklyn fracked gas Pipeline is currently under construction in Brownsville and Bushwick, and is destined for Williamsburg and Greenpoint. It is being built through black and brown communities that were not consulted about the proposal. It’s dirty, dangerous, and commits New York to higher utility rates and decades of climate destroying fracked gas.
