Progress at the state and local level is how we keep the march towards a clean energy future going, now, over the next four years, and beyond. While it is important that we defend the progress we've made, it is critical that we do not let up our efforts to drive change and celebrate our victories.

We made our upgrade last year when our mini-splits gave out on us. The IRA incentive was a huge factor, given that the equipment costs were about the same. Would love to see these as a requirement in all new home developments in greater HTX.

New #Cop28  text: "Reducing both consumption and production of fossil fuels, in a just, orderly and equitable manner so as to achieve net zero by, before, or around 2050 in keeping with the science"
