🌍 U.S. Gas Utility Spending: A Growing Concern for Homeowners The U.S. electric grid is advancing towards a renewable energy future – but many gas utilities are trying to hinder the transition. A new article sheds light on the cost and safety risks posed by ongoing investments in gas, such as rate increases and safety risks. Some key insights: ✔️ Aging Infrastructure: The vast spider web of gas pipelines and distribution networks is ageing, leaking methane, and becoming costlier to maintain. ✔️ Rising Costs: Utility investments in gas infrastructure may drive up customer rates. ✔️ Increased Risk: Greater investments in gas utilities could result in stranded assets as the world shifts to renewable energy. This sums it up nicely: "The efforts by the utility industry to replace aging pipes, while also attempting to add new customers, risks leading to massive overspending on gas infrastructure at a time when the country is also attempting to shift away from fossil fuels." It's clear that we need to move away from gas to power and heat our homes. At QuitCarbon, we're dedicated to helping homeowners make this transition seamlessly and affordably. Let's be proactive together! 🌎💚 Read more here: https://hubs.ly/Q02yjw6L0 #QuitCarbon #CleanEnergyUpgrades

💡💰 It's been a few days since the California Public Utilities Commission's decision to introduce a flat monthly "Flat Rate" charge of $24.15 for residential customers...but even before the announcement, the decision was clearly divisive. 👍 On the positive side, environmental groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Sierra Club view this as a step in the right direction to make electricity more affordable for low-income households and encourage electrification of homes and vehicles, which is crucial for meeting California's climate goals. 👎 Others aren't convinced. The solar industry, represented by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), has criticized the fixed charge, calling it a "tax" that could hinder rooftop solar and storage adoption. Some don't think the changes don't go far enough. The Sierra Club, for example, wants regulators to eliminate the fixed charge for low-income households, exempt all-electric customers, and institute higher income tiers for wealthier customers. What are your thoughts? 🤔 We'd love to hear. https://hubs.ly/Q02xD5kS0

Alarming Study: Gas and Propane Stoves Expose Households to Unhealthy Nitrogen Dioxide Levels A new study by Stanford University reveals worrisome findings about the air pollution caused by gas and propane stoves in U.S. homes. Even in bedrooms far from kitchens, nitrogen dioxide concentrations frequently exceed health limits while stoves are on and for hours after burners and ovens are turned off. 🏠💨 This potent pollutant is linked to childhood asthma, decreased lung development, and even premature deaths. The study estimates that gas and propane stoves may be responsible for as many as 200,000 current childhood asthma cases and potentially thousands of deaths annually. Stanford's study reinforces the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuel-powered appliances and embrace clean, electric alternatives. 🔌💚 This is QuitCarbon's mission. And this is why we also support the American Lung Association. Everyone deserves to breathe clean air – especially in their own homes!

🎉 QuitCarbon is mentioned in The Washington Post! A new article validates our efforts as a "one-stop electrification shop." The article describes the struggles homeowners face when upgrading to clean energy, from installing heat pumps and induction stoves to EV chargers. 🏘️⚡ QuitCarbon emerges as solution for those overwhelmed with the research and effort involved in upgrade projects – a solution akin to having a general contractor "who can analyze a home, draft a custom electrification plan, offer guidance on equipment and costs, and find or facilitate contractors to execute it. Some even manage rebates and financing." (Yes, that would be us.) We're proud to help make the transition to sustainable living as straightforward and stress-free as possible. 🔗 Read the article here: https://hubs.ly/Q02wsSXd0
