Thanks @dangearino.bsky.social for making it to the Energy Smart Home Expo to tell our story! insideclimatenews.org/news/3010202...

A rare post from my personal account with something fun we put together as part of our Electrify Central Ohio #heatpump education effort! Remember we're a scrappy grassroots volunteer group, so not as great/polished as the recent effort by @drewtozer.bsky.social. ☺️

Hey #energysky #climatesky et al. - I'm looking for a #heatpump science experiment or demo session appropriate for an elementary/middle school aged audience for an event I'm planning later this year. Basically, 20 mins of fun for kids re heat pumps! No luck with internet searching, any suggestions?
That makes sense, we have 200A to play with so more options. Good luck!
We have heat strips at the air handler for backup, they work fine - I'd be interested to hear how a space heating solution works out. We did have the advantage of an old school electric hot water heater tank so an easy choice to switch that to a heat pump water heater. Good luck on your journey!
Are you able to go all electric? That was the big $$$ savings option for us (in Columbus) since the fixed service charges in Ohio are so high, -$600 in annual meter costs and more for future years....
I don't know what it is but I choose "supernatant."
Just starting to explore #energysky.... is anyone else following #FERC matters and annoyed that #PJM is trying to put off Order 2222 implementation from 2026 to 2028? As someone who'd like to participate in a DER aggregation someday, I sure am.... www.pjm.com/directory/et...
There's greenup.rmi.org and homes.rewiringamerica.org/personal-ele... in the US but both have assumptions about energy pricing that can be misleading for OH where there's big NG fixed charges and shopping for generation. At electrifycentralohio.org we're piloting our own spreadsheet calculator.
For #climatesky, #energysky, and this time my 10 yo son - taking my #TaylorSwift #cleanenergy adaptations to another level with a YouTube video, here's "Out of the Woods (Interconnection Reform Version)" for those of you wondering when you'll get "out of the queue": youtu.be/eETw7QcQRmM
And now this week's official #climatesky #energysky inspired #TaylorSwift song adaptation: Love Story ( #ElectricVehicle Version). With bonus #InflationReductionAct content!
Oops, #climatesky #energysky - forgot to cross-post my #TaylorSwift climate adaptation last week, so this week you get a double whammy! First, Blank Space (Electric Panel Version)." For all the #Swifties concerned with whether their panels have enough amps for home electrification!
As a clean energy nerd with a 7-year-old daughter, I have fallen into a strange hobby of remaking Taylor Swift song lyrics with environmental/climate themes just for fun. Thus: Look What You Made Me Do (#HeatPump Version) - @rewiringamerica.bsky.social maybe you can handle the music video?
