Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Building more apartments could do more than ease the #housing shortage. A new report says apartments are often an "almost automatic form of building decarbonization" because they use less energy and are more likely to rely on electric heating than single-family homes. Collab with @grist.org

Our energy affordability crisis has a hidden driver: utilities spending billions on gas pipelines. But, as @kgeorgebagdanov.bsky.social and @panamaredhat.bsky.social tell @volts.wtf, states are increasingly implementing policies to transition us away from gas to affordable clean heat and cooling.

David Roberts

Today on Volts: as affluent homeowners switch to heat pumps, the fixed costs of the fossil-gas network are born by a shrinking class of consumers who can least afford it. Today I talk with folks from @buildingdecarb.org about how to phase out gas in a thoughtful, equitable way, one chunk at a time.
