Senate Finance Committee Votes 15 to 5 to Advance the NY HEAT ACT – Earlier in February, the Senate Energy Committee had moved the bill to Finance by a vote of 5 to 3. In response to the Finance Committee's vote, Lisa Marshall, Advocacy and Organizing Director for New Yorkers for Clean Power, issued the following statement: "Today's vote to advance the NY HEAT Act brings us one step closer to finally delivering relief for families struggling to afford their energy bills. Utility companies across the state are investing billions every year into the dirty fracked gas system that's driving extreme weather, and they're passing the cost onto New Yorkers already unable to make ends meet. The HEAT Act will put families before utility companies' bottom lines, protecting against rising energy costs and future rate increases while kickstarting our transition away from the fossil fuels that are killing us. With the recent support from Governor Hochul - and now a majority of Assembly Members who also support the bill - lawmakers must carry the momentum forward and finish the job by including the full NY HEAT Act in their one-house budgets!"

Colorado’s Geos Neighborhood is Living the All-Electric Life – Alison F. Takemura - Canary Media – “Net-zero neighborhoods have been built, for example, in Hawaii (19-home Kaupuni Village), Utah (five-home Living Zenith) and Wisconsin (34-home Red Fox Crossing). More are on the way, with developers constructing net-zero enclaves everywhere from Michigan to North Carolina. One of the largest net-zero neighborhoods in the U.S. is unfurling in Vermont; the developer O’Brien Brothers plans to ultimately build 900 fossil-fuel-free units there. It’s finished 115 single-family homes so far. At the Geos project in Arvada, Colorado, homes use a quarter homes use a quarter of the energy of typical construction, lowering the average utility bill to just $8 a month, according to Norbert Klebl, the engineer and former partner at consultancy McKinsey & Co. who developed the Geos neighborhood… (The 1,800 square foot townhouses in the neighborhood use air source heat pumps, and). The 2,500-square-foot single-family homes utilize more efficient geothermal or ground-source heat pumps.” Article link here.

National Fuel Used Ratepayer Funded Websites to Solicit Lobbying – in a document filed February 16th, Department of Public Service staff documented that National Fuel put banners saying “Tell Albany lawmakers: No natural gas bans.” on ratepayer funded company websites. The DPS report is puzzlingly nonchalant about these instances of a ratepayer funded site being used to recruit lobbying efforts. The report noted only the minimal expense of creating and taking down the links, which was incorrectly charged to National Fuel’s ratepayer-funded Energy Efficiency Account. The report ignored the cost to ratepayers of creating and maintaining the website which was then improperly used, costs which could have been cited as misappropriation of ratepayer funds. The report also notes that National Fuel used ratepayer funds to pay $76,000 in dues to 15 organizations that engaged in lobbying. The report did not recommend fines, excused these transgressions as “sloppiness” on the part of the company and recommended “increased oversight of National Fuel Gas’ accounting allocations for legislative lobbying efforts and membership dues.” To see the DPS report, click on item number 1 on this page .

Current Status of NY HEAT Act – Marie French – POLITICO -This article describes the current status of the NY HEAT Act and some of the key issues it is raising for NYS Legislators. “Senate Democrats have endorsed a sweeping measure dubbed “NY HEAT” that includes eliminating subsidies for new gas hookups and empowering the Public Service Commission to decommission sections of the gas system in the future. Gov. Kathy Hochul this year put forward her own proposal to achieve those goals, winning praise from environmental groups. The Assembly Democratic conference is viewed by environmental advocates as the roadblock. But there appears to be growing openness to tackling the vexing energy issues this year.” Article link here.

Report Says Canada Is Not Keeping Pace on Building Decarbonization – Aurélie Vérin and Mathieu Poirier – Building Decarbonization Alliance - “As noted in The Transition Accelerator’s Pathways to Net Zero report, the replacement of fossil-fuel fired furnaces and boilers with electric heating equipment (electrification) is the most compelling pathway to widespread building decarbonization. In the residential sector, more than 6 million or 40% of homes use electric heating, and more than 850,000 of those homes use heat pumps. Although Canadians’ adoption of heat pumps is already increasing, Canadian households are not on track to electrify their space heating by 2100, let alone by 2050. In this context, this report serves as a tool to understand the current state of adoption of heat pump technologies in the residential sector, and the rates of adoption that are needed to reach Canada’s 2050 goals." Article link here.
| |
|
To determine the market acceleration necessary to meet the 2050 goal, we compare our modelling to existing sales trends. Most space heating systems have a lifespan of approximately 15 years, so this yields a sales curve comprising 100 percent of heat pumps sales by 2035 (see Figure 2). This means a change from having heat pumps in an estimated 1.05M homes in 2024 to 21.3M homes in 2050”
NYISO Among the Slowest at Interconnecting New Power Sources – Ethan Howland - Utility Dive – “For interconnection requests submitted in 2018 to 2020, the completion rates for ISO New England, the New York Independent System Operator, PJM and the Southwest Power Pool fell to less than 10% because of the high number of submissions and slow progress in completing the study process, according to the report. ‘Completion rates below 10% reflect a lack of sufficient upfront information and/or a deficient and burdensome process,’ the report said. ‘The uncertainty and slowness of the interconnection process creates a perverse incentive for interconnection customers to submit even more proposals, which can create a negative feedback loop.’” Article link here.

2.5 Million Americans Displaced by Weather-Related Disasters Last Year – Aidan Gardiner – New York Times – “An estimated 2.5 million people were forced from their homes in the United States by weather-related disasters in 2023, according to new data from the Census Bureau… More than a third said they had experienced at least some food shortage in the first month after being displaced. More than half reported that they had interacted with someone who seemed to be trying to defraud them. And more than a third said they had been displaced for longer than a month." Article link here. |  | |
Sea Temperatures Are Alarming Scientists – David Gelles - New Yok Times -“For the past year, oceans around the world have been substantially warmer than usual. Last month was the hottest January on record in the world’s oceans, and temperatures have continued to rise since then... in Cambridge, England, Rob Larter, a marine scientist who tracks polar ice levels, (notes) ‘It’s quite scary, partly because I’m not hearing any scientists that have a convincing explanation of why it is we’ve got such a departure,’ he said. ‘We’re used to having a fairly good handle on things. But the impression at the moment is that things have gone further and faster than we expected. That’s an uncomfortable place as a scientist to be.’ ” Article link here.

Is It About Temperature Increases or Wild Destructive Weather Events? - Kevin Trenberth – World Scientific - “The obsession with 1.5○ C extends to arguments that the world may be able to overshoot the value and then return to it later, using some form of negative emissions. This is linear thinking and works only in the simple models used for this sort of exercise. How does one undo the huge thawing of permafrost that spews copious amounts of methane into the atmosphere as the carbon in soils decays? How does one undo a hurricane and its damage? How can the effects of a drought and resulting wildfires that flatten a forest be undone? How can Greenland be restored?” Link to Trenberth's article here.

Funding To Study “Doomsday Glacier” Running Out – Bob Berwyn – Inside Climate News – If all the ice of Thwaites Glacier melts, it would raise average global sea level about 2 feet. Knowing how fast the ice in West Antarctica will melt and raise sea level in the coming decades is critical information for tens of millions of people in low-lying coastal areas around the world who need to adapt to sea level rise. Yet despite the increasing urgency, current research is winding down this year for lack of continued funding. Article link here

Texas Is Battling the Largest Fire in the State’s History – Christopher Flavelle and Delger Erdenesanaa - New York Times – “It has killed at least two people and burned through more than 1 million acres of land. A deadly combination of high temperatures, low relative humidity and strong winds fueled the blaze—conditions that are becoming more common as climate change accelerates, report. Experts forecasted a blaze like this years ago, and officials say the inferno is likely to continue to spread.” Article link here.

"We know from a recent study that every tenth of a degree in temperature rise that we prevent keeps 140 million of our brothers and sisters in habitable zones on this planet. And nothing has changed my basic conviction about the key: we need to keep building huge movements to finally break the political power of the fossil fuel industry and force the emergency conversion to clean energy." —Bill McKibben
| I'm Your Heat Pump – “A heat pump croons about ‘climatic healing’ in a Berkeley musicians’ new song. As climate-friendly heat pumps replace gas furnaces, two musicians teamed up on a song about a pump, ‘with a lot of love to give.’ ” “I’m your heat pump. When you want it hot, I’m hot with you. When you want it cool, I’m cool with you, babe.” Article link here, and song video here. | |
