“Hahaha. Democrat @RepKatiePorter in the chamber during #SpeakerVote”

@KirstenAnne I did the ride to work today. Lets just say the bike paths this morning were “icy.” The sun and maybe some efforts by the city (?) made the ride home better.

Only the normal amount of motorist insensitivity which I was thankful for.

@extrasuper A heat pump is an A/C so you will be way happier in the summer. I already had an old A/C – the heat pump replaced it and is way more efficient.
@extrasuper
It's early days! This was the first true cold spell. Installed last summer (2022)

So. My #ElectrifyEverything home made the news.

Also, I hope that I give "Colorado Man" a better rap than #FloridaMan

Article is great but I'll point out I got more than a new furnace for my $30k! Also new hot water heater & EV charger!

How a Colorado green home renovation paid off during the winter storm

Chaz Teplin tore out gas appliances and installed electric one, then documented the energy savings during the winter storm in late December.

In #California #Illinois and #NewYork 20% of childhood asthma is caused by gas stove use.

Fortunately, #states have many new resources to help homeowners get clean cooking and clean heating into their homes.

See this new study from RMI: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/20/1/75

Population Attributable Fraction of Gas Stoves and Childhood Asthma in the United States

Indoor gas stove use for cooking is associated with an increased risk of current asthma among children and is prevalent in 35% of households in the United States (US). The population-level implications of gas cooking are largely unrecognized. We quantified the population attributable fraction (PAF) for gas stove use and current childhood asthma in the US. Effect sizes previously reported by meta-analyses for current asthma (Odds Ratio = 1.34, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.12–1.57) were utilized in the PAF estimations. The proportion of children (<18 years old) exposed to gas stoves was obtained from the American Housing Survey for the US, and states with available data (n = 9). We found that 12.7% (95% CI = 6.3–19.3%) of current childhood asthma in the US is attributable to gas stove use. The proportion of childhood asthma that could be theoretically prevented if gas stove use was not present (e.g., state-specific PAFs) varied by state (Illinois = 21.1%; California = 20.1%; New York = 18.8%; Massachusetts = 15.4%; Pennsylvania = 13.5%). Our results quantify the US public health burden attributed to gas stove use and childhood asthma. Further research is needed to quantify the burden experienced at the county levels, as well as the impacts of implementing mitigation strategies through intervention studies.

@KirstenAnne fuck that guy

Hope all you California friends are staying dry and safe.

How’s it looking?
