A lot of things are driving U.S. electric utility rates higher — volatile fossil gas prices and costly investments in aging grids and coal plants among them. But cheap wind and solar can’t be blamed for sky-high power bills, a new Energy Innovation Policy and Technology LLC report finds. Here's the story: https://ow.ly/TRgr50SBL7l #utilities #electricbills #solar #cleanenergy #fossilfuels

In the latest industry-backed effort to stifle the clean energy transition, a Washington state initiative aimed at preventing statewide and local bans on fossil gas is likely to appear on voters’ ballots this November. “Special interest groups that have a vested interest in maintaining the gas system see that policies and technologies are moving away from their product. They’re getting desperate and trying to do whatever they can.” Here's the story: https://ow.ly/mhFp50SAlIm #Washington #WashingtonState #climatepolicy #gasban #fossilfuels #gasstoves

An uninsulated home is like a paper bag: at the mercy of the elements. But sealing and insulating your abode can make it more like a temperature-retaining beverage cooler. Here's what to know before you start weatherizing: https://ow.ly/8ELN50Szr4k Canary Media thanks EnergySage for its support of the #ElectrifiedLife column. #weatherizing #homeinsulation #energyefficiency #homeimprovement #weatherization
Weatherization can keep you cool this summer — and warm next winter

Storing clean electricity as heat could help decarbonize heavy industry and balance the grid — if the technology can prove itself in real-world conditions. In the U.S., Rondo Energy’s “heat batteries” — refractory brick blocks that can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius — started supplying heat to an ethanol plant in California last year. And in Europe, Rondo has won funding that will support projects at a chemicals plant in Germany owned by Covestro; at GreenLab, a green industrial park in Denmark; and at an undisclosed food-and-beverage processing facility. Here's the story: https://ow.ly/ZX8W50SyN6s #batteries #heatbatteries #energystorage #cleanindustry
