Heat pumps are an essential piece of the puzzle for meeting our climate and affordable housing goals. They both reduce climate emissions and provide long-term energy affordability for users.
Extreme heat events like this are a dramatic example of the dangers of burning fossil fuels. We need clean energy solutions that protect our climate AND our communities.
This report from Synapse and Climate Solutions provides an analysis of options for Washington's methane gas utilities and their transition to clean energy.
