'We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to solve multiple crises by getting off fossil fuels,' said Ari Matusiak of RewiringAmerica
The group's CEO Ari Matusiakin a newsletter last week that a transition to renewable energy system including by electrifying homes with heat pumps"is arguably the most important one to make in the immediate term because it's where Putin's political power lies." He continued:
If Russia, which is responsible for 40% of E.U. gas, chokes supply and the cost of living goes up for European families, Putin has European leaders in a headlock. But every time a heat pump is installed, his political power is reduced. And the planet breathes a little easier, too. Addressing these interwoven crises requires nothing short of a wartime mobilization by manufacturers to produce the clean tech that will help wean us all off Putin's dirty oil and gas. This is how we ramped up manufacturing to win WWII for the Allies. We can help the E.U. break up with gas, while also spurring our own transition from fossil fuels. There are myriad pathways for the U.S.
"Now is the moment to leverage all the policy options available to us, by encouraging the U.S. Congress to enact the energy investments necessary to drive the deployment and adoption of clean technologies," said Matusiak."There is simply no reason not to do this."the president to invoke the DPA to rapidly scale up heat pump production as one of a number of necessary steps in the wake of the administration's ban on U.S. imports of Russian fossil fuels.
