Hundreds of thousands of Americans are still without power - many in poorly-sealed homes that get cold quickly. But some policymakers are stepping backward, not forward, in making homes more prepared.
Our Homes Aren't Ready for Extreme Cold and Power Outages
Americans in poorly insulated and leaky homes without power are facing dangerous indoor temperatures.

Bowser is also proposing another hobby horse of hers: Reversing the energy efficiency standards for buildings, a huge source of emissions in the city.

She's tried to do this several times before. Ironic, because it was part of a clean energy bill that she championed...

Great article on a coop that went all electric and is saving energy and way ahead of schedule in complying with LL97! It quotes me.
Meet Manhattan’s first housing co-op to electrify heating and cooling
The 1962 building hit its emissions reduction targets well ahead of Local Law 97's first reporting deadline on May 1. Here’s how.
