In order to meet our decarbonization goals and avoid the worst possible climate scenarios, we need to dramatically accelerate the pace of electrifying our lives. Recent landmark policy wins like the Inflation Reduction Act could be game-changing by making electrification affordable for most U.S. households, but it’s still too complicated for most consumers to access those programs. The effort to electrify 100% of U.S. homes amounts to a series of about 100 million small construction projects, and the plumbers, electricians, solar installers, and HVAC technicians who will do this work are facing far too many barriers to offering vital sources of new capital to their customers. We’re fixing that. We are climate optimists who see the climate crisis not as a mere problem to be solved, but as the defining and enduring challenge of the next century and beyond. We share a deeply held belief that we have the power to help secure a future where humans - especially communities that have suffered the most due to pollution and climate change - can live full, meaningful, and healthful lives on earth.
