The fossil fuel industry has done and how we are going to be suffering from that for quite some time but I think that the question of how we move forward is being built entirely in a lot of the, the work that's been happening now in green building. We have to make sure that everyone is part of the process by which we get there. The climate doesn't care the skin color of the person that admitted mate you know generated emissions right climate doesn't Care.
It’s become common for homeowners to install solar panels to provide themselves with emission-free electricity. But increasingly more attention is being paid to decarbonizing things inside the home – the machines that heat and cool water and air, dry our clothes and cook our food. The Inflation Reduction Act includes many ways for homeowners and renters to start to electrify their lives. And in some places, builders are developing highly efficient, all electric homes from the get-go. What more is needed to make our buildings greener and get away from fossil fuels?
