NY-GEO 2023 featured a well-received dinner keynote address from NY Public Service Commission Chair Rory Christian.

New York Set to Ban Gas Furnaces, Stoves in New Buildings – Marie French – Politico - "New York will require new buildings to be zero-emissions starting in 2026 and make a state authority a major player in developing renewables as part of this year’s budget, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced late Thursday. The state’s budget will ban fossil fuel combustion in most new buildings under seven stories starting in 2026, with larger buildings covered in 2029. That means no propane heating and no gas furnaces or stoves in most new construction… Details of the agreement will be laid out in state budget bills that have not yet been printed. A potentially major caveat on grid reliability pushed by Assembly Democrats and a major gas utility also hasn’t been finalized, leading environmental advocates to moderate their enthusiasm until they see the final wording.” Article link here.

Bob Howarth Tweet on Gas Infrastructure - 2023 04 26 – Howarth, Cornell University climate expert and member of the NY State Climate Action Council, tweeted the following: “The best solution is to simply stop using fossil natural gas ASAP, as laid out in the Climate Action Council scoping plan (Dec 2022). If the State follows the plan, gas use will fall by 50% within 10 yrs.  It's time to start dismantling the pipeline system, not rebuilding it. ‘leak prone pipe replacements will cost NY gas utility customers $150 billion, or an average of approximately $35,000 for every gas customer in the state.’"  Howarth was referencing a letter sent to Governor Hochul by 80+ organizations, including NY-GEO - urging inclusion of the NY HEAT Act in the budget to provide for an orderly and cost effective transition to renewable heating.

The Future of Gas in New York State

 

 

Analysis of Berkeley Gas Ban Decision - Amy Turner – Columbia University Sabin Center for Climate Change Law – A court recently overturned the Berkeley, California ban on fossil fuel equipment in new construction, and fossil fuel interests have been seizing on that decision to push back on all-electric construction in New York. However, there are significant differences between the language and approach in the two initiatives.  “While the Ninth Circuit decision does impact some aspects of local authority to electrify buildings, it is far from a knockout blow. Local governments with building code authority retain that authority, and are well-advised to pay close attention to the contours of the building code exception to (Energy Policy and Conservation Act) EPCA preemption. Those with air pollution authority could pursue the New York City approach; EPCA does not preempt air emissions standards. Local governments may also wish to work on their own or with their states to regulate natural gas distribution. Further, the decision applies only in the Ninth Circuit, and does not further limit local governments in other circuits. Finally, Berkeley may yet appeal the decision, meaning that this is not the last word.” Article link here.


NY Green Bank’s $250 Million Community Decarbonization Fund - Governor Kathy Hochul has announced the launch of a $250 million Community Decarbonization Fund. “The CDF, a wholesale lending pathway that will provide low-cost capital to Community Development Financial Institutions and other mission-driven lenders for local clean energy and building electrification projects and other scopes of work, will support lenders financing projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in disadvantaged communities.” There will be a webinar on the CDF May 11th. Thanks to Adam Flint of Network for a Sustainable Tomorrow (NEST) for this tip. For the article link and webinar reservation, click here.

2023 04 21 #1 - NYC Sustainability Plan and Schools – Julian Shen-Berro – Chalkbeat New York – Mayor Adams recently unveiled the plan which includes dozens of initiatives such as solar panels for schools, teacher training, climate change education, green jobs training programs, and electric buses. (from 2023 04 21 – City & State First Read) Full story here

DOE Funds Development of Six Technologies to Aid Home Electrification – “The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced six finalists in the Equitable and Affordable Solutions to Electrification (EAS-E) Prize), which awards innovative solutions that advance electrification retrofits across various residential building types and geographies… ‘The goal of the EAS-E prize is to promote technologies and develop innovations that make home electrification easier, more affordable, and more accessible, with a specific focus on dwellings underserved by the current market for electrification,’ said Alejandro Moreno, Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy… Finalist teams receive $5,000 in cash and a $75,000 voucher to work with DOE national laboratories and American-Made Network ‘Connectors’ to advance their electrification solutions. In Phase 2, these teams will compete for up to three cash prizes, with a top award of $1 million.” See the Finalists in EERE's Announcement.

Airbnb Subsidizes Air Source Heat Pumps in Massachusetts – Alison F. Takemura – Canary Media – “Airbnb has a new program to help hosts slash carbon pollution by offering them cash rebates to weatherize and electrify their vacation-rental homes — available, for now, in Massachusetts. While Airbnb successfully launched similar programs in the U.K. and France in 2022 — with enthusiastic responses from thousands of hosts, according to the company — this is the first of its kind in the U.S. The incentives from Airbnb include up to $500 for energy-efficiency upgrades, such as insulation, and up to $2,000 for air-source heat-pump installations.” Interesting, but why the limit to air source? Article link here.



EV Sales To Top 1 Million in 2023 – Maria Virginia Olano – Canary Media – EV sales have reached record highs, but are lower than the levels needed to meet Federal and state decarbonized transportation goals. Partial to full Federal tax credits have been extended to 2032 for qualifying EVs (based on requirements such as at least partial assembly in the U.S.), helping address price, which is the main barrier for most potential buyers. Proposed EPA vehicle emissions rules could further incentivize EV sales. Full story here


Tesla’s Battery Storage Sales Growing Faster Than EV Sales – Eric Wesoff – Canary Media – Tesla shipped 3.9 gigawatt-hours of battery packs in 2023 Q1 (primarily utility-scale storage), for a 360 percent jump compared to the year prior.  Tesla has a new 40-gigawatt-hour Megapack factory ramping up in CA, and another Megapack factory is planned for Shanghai.  Tesla has entered the lithium refinement sector as well. “60 gigawatts of grid-scale storage are expected to be actually constructed between 2023 and 2027, according to energy analyst firm Wood Mackenzie.” Full story here


2023 RHN Legislative and Budget Agenda - The Renewable Heat Now Campaign (RHN) is organizing to win funding and policies that will move fossil fuels out of our buildings affordably and equitably. The legislative package includes the All-Electric New Building Act (S00562-A/A00920-A - Kavanaugh/Gallagher) that would sunset fossil fuels in new construction starting January 1, 2024. It also includes the NY Home Energy Equitable Transition (HEAT) Act – (S2016/A4592 – Krueger/Fahy). In addition, RHN has also released an agenda for the NYS budget, which is currently being negotiated by the Governor and the Legislature. See more on the Renewable Heat Now Legislative Package here. And take action here.

Hemp Improves Insulation – Cape Cod Hemp House – The house uses a combination of new and traditional building methods and materials. Chief among the new materials is a biocomposite called hemplime that replaces plywood sheathing, synthetic house wrap, and spray foam insulation. Hemplime wall and roof assemblies improve indoor air quality, buffer heat and moisture, are fire, mold, and pest resistant, are inherently air-tight, and sequester carbon. Full story here

Span Snags $96M to Become a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ For Electric Homes – Jeff St. John - Canary Media - The smart-electric-panel startup aims to electrify a million homes with its new funding, tapping partnerships with vendors of solar, batteries and electric appliances. Spans smart electric panels “can make up for their expense by reducing the technical complexity and electrical barriers for homeowners who want to install solar panels and backup batteries, charge electric vehicles at home, or switch from fossil-fueled furnaces and water heaters to electric heat pumps.  Smart electric panels like Span’s can also help with grid management as power demand rises. Residential fossil-fuel use accounts for about 13 percent of U.S. carbon emissions, so home electrification is necessary for climate goals. But being able to actively control and schedule how and when those homes use electricity could spell the difference between overloading the grid and helping to decarbonize it." Article link here.

Putting Out the Planetary Fire: A Handbook for Climate Organizers – Mark Dunlea – Veteran NY climate activist Mark Dunlea of the Green Education and Legal Fund (GELF) has written a book thatcombines a factual introduction to many of the issues central to climate debate: Environmental Justice, Reparations, False Climate Solutions, Real Life Barriers, Carbon Pricing, Green New Deal, Crypto Mining, Plastics, and Military.” The book is intended as a basic introduction for people (including high school and college students) wanting a good grounding on climate issues and as a handbook to help new climate organizers with how-to information on basic advocacy and organizing skills.This book has received praise from Bill McKibben, Mark Jacobson, Elizabeth Kolbert, Ralph Nader, and Medea Benjamin, among others.  Paper book copies of Putting Out the Planetary Fire: An Introduction to Climate Action and Advocacy can be purchased through Amazon Books.  A free web version is available on GELF’s website.

Dangerous Early Heat Wave In Asia – Rebecca Leber – Vox – In the last two weeks, heat records have fallen throughout China, India, Bangladesh, and Thailand. Early heat waves are particularly dangerous because people are not acclimatized to the higher temperatures. Climate change further exacerbates the problem through increased humidity levels and night-time temperatures. Ill-adapted infrastructure in the U.S. (e.g., lack of trees) also contributes to the danger. Full story here

A Seismic Win Went Almost Unnoticed Amidst the Tuckerstrom - High Court Lets Cities And States Sue Exxon et al – Bill Mckibben – The Crucial Years – “To make a long story short: Eight years ago, journalists—led by Inside Climate News and the LA Times—began publishing stories proving that the big oil companies knew all there was to know about the dangers of global warming back in the 1980s. Among other consequences, this helped convince the legal departments of a number of cities and states to launch lawsuits against the oil giants, on the grounds that they’d done great and knowing damage to the taxpayers of these jurisdictions, who were having to clean up after the endless storms, fires, and floods. This freaked out the industry, because it could see one possible future: a series of judgments large enough to bring it, like the tobacco industry, to its knees, forced to make some kind of general settlement just to stay in business. (This would be karmic payback of a high order, since Big Oil had hired pr veterans from the cigarette companies to help build out their climate denial campaigns).“ Article link here.

6 Ways You — Yes, You! — Can Help Advance the Energy Transition – Julian Spector – Canary Media.  “…while broad-scale reforms push the economy in a lower-carbon direction, individuals still have some agency in supporting the transition to clean energy.  Here’s a selection of guides from Canary Media on how to take action in your own life to lower carbon emissions and promote a cleaner world.”  Suggestions include a link to a helpful page on 10 questions to ask if you want to get a heat pump.   Article link here.
