Heating and cooling concerns about 1/3 of all greenhouse gas emissions. With the convergence of advanced clean energy technologies, the chance of being fossil fuel free now appears! In New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, more commonly known as the Climate Act, the most aggressive greenhouse gas reduction goals have been turned into law. Did you know that it not only aims to achieve 40% reduction by 2030 and 85% by 2050, but also envisions giving 35% of all benefits to

People are continuously working to help sustain this planet’s life, and it is indeed great to have dialogues where concerns are shared and solutions are created and promoted. Sadly, because some countries (especially the US) withdrew their commitments after pledging critically needed action, the climate movement – especially the Build Back Better Act – is moving slow... We have all the evidence we need to take action. What’s stopping you from standing up and moving forward? We can’t just wait

Humanity’s Greenhouse gas emissions are fueling extreme weather events that are becoming more intense, costly, deadly, and frequent. Did you know that our greenhouse gas emissions are trapping the same amount of energy in our atmosphere as 500,000 nuclear explosions EVERY day, 365 days a year? In 2019, the U.S. saw an average of one $1 Billion extreme

Don’t we know that plastics are all fake? That’s why it’s such an insult when someone is called “plastic”. The most easily seen environmental issue on this planet is the continuous use of plastics.

Rule #3: treat other people the way you want to be treated.” – Lou Holtz Heating hot water is 15-20% of the average family’s energy consumption, costing $400 to $800 a year or more. Most people face hindrances in having an energy efficient water heater because of their high initial cost of installation, warranties, and replacements.

Quantum Quote: “The key to mitigating CO2 and affecting climate change lies in governments’ abilities to use their procurement power to procure carbon sequestered materials at grand scales. If we follow that mechanism, we could mitigate climate in a significant way, billions of tons.” – Brent Constantz, Ph.D. The crucial necessity of solving the climate crisis goes beyond everything else we’re dealing with today.

Quantum Quote: “We need to put a sunset on fossil fuel use in our homes.” – Bill Nowak Are you aware that an average person in the United States emits 16 tons of climate-disrupting carbon dioxide every year? Even the way natural gas has been advertised for decades doesn’t actually reflect the truth at this point of time! Statistics say that heating oil and gasoline are about 1 ½ times as problematic as natural gas. BUT - natural gas emits methane, which is much more dangerous on a 20 year time

Quantum Quote: “We’re not magicians. We’re just nerds.” – EnergyOgre’s Motto People are busy, and we do not usually pay attention to electricity - until the times when it’s not there. In the 1990s, many states deregulated their electricity utilities. If you are in New York or Texas or other deregulated states, you can now choose your electricity supplier. But, many homeowners are overpaying for electricity without knowing it. Texas has about 140 authorized retail electricity providers

We’ve got to get things to change fast.” – Pete Skinner Hot water costs can be up to 18% or 20% or more of a family’s home energy bill, and it can be an even larger percentage in a multi-family building. If you’re a developer of multifamily buildings, you strive to balance the first capital costs of construction, with on-going energy and maintenance costs - all while not compromising comfort for your tenants.
