The California utilities have asked for rate increases that would effectively double the bill for all customers who have installed solar arrays. The justification for this is the need to build more transmission infrastructure and make all customers pay for it. We will examine why the grid has become so expensive and what can and should be done to …
We meet every month to provide updates on Coalition activities and events, present short educational briefs, and to ask for your support to accelerate the transition to all-electric buildings in San Diego. Contact us for a Zoom invite.
Special Guest Adam Dorr, PhD, RethinkX We are on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most profound disruption of the energy sector in over a century. Like most disruptions, this one is being driven by the convergence of several key technologies whose costs and capabilities have been improving on consistent and predictable trajectories – namely, …

Building electrification is a crucial strategy to decarbonize our society. Each presenter will describe how they went about retrofitting their home with electric heating systems and appliances, what kind of problems they had to solve (panel upgrade, finding the right contractor, etc), how much the retrofits cost, and any financing programs used. We will also …
Around the country, high-stakes battles are being waged over the future of clean energy. These battles will determine whether the expensive transmission-dependent model favored by the IOUs will prevail — or whether the value proposition of customer-sited solar is too compelling to be derailed.

How all-electric homes benefit California home builders and answers to common misconceptions about electrification. As you've likely heard by now, California's building code is moving to electrify new construction of all types, and over the next few years this will become more and more common. Cities and local jurisdictions are also increasingly favoring reach codes …

A typical home produces over 20 tons of heat trapping emissions per year from CO2 production and methane leaks. The development of heat pump technology has created a way to heat a home without burning fossil fuel. By pumping heat from the outside rather than creating it by burning fuel, a heat pump can deliver 3-4 times more energy than …
