By [email protected] In June, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey asked the state’s Department of Public Utilities to open an investigation into the future of natural-gas companies in the state. Healey’s request was prompted by the recognition that Massachusetts cannot meet its legally binding emission reduction targets unless it abandons the use of fossil gas in…
By ACEEE Blog Freight transport is responsible for a large—and rising—share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Despite great strides in truck efficiency and the potential to transition to electric trucks in many applications, vehicle improvements are not enough to deliver a sustainable freight sector. We need a freight network that is itself more efficient, with…
By [email protected] Dan Yates and his co-founder Alex Laskey built Opower, an efficiency company that saves more energy every year than the hoover dam can generate. It was based on cutting-edge behavioral science — but it wasn’t always clear how the science would play out. “It wasn’t okay with us to just know that there…
By [email protected] California is readying what could be the next game-changing update to its building-performance standards. Building-performance standards have been saving Californians energy and money for four decades. Occasionally, updates to the standards, which are reviewed every three years, yield a breakthrough. In 2019, the beneficiary was solar, with regulators approving a requirement for rooftop…
