💡Policy implication: income-based subsidies alone are inefficient. Tiered support that accounts for both income and building attributes (e.g., building age) could more effectively advance decarbonization and energy justice. #EnergyJustice #HeatPumps #BuildingStock #CleanEnergy

Our new Joule paper @Joule_CP. We assess inequalities in electrification via heat pumps across the U.S. with @energymorgan @Xingchi_Shen @CtrGlobSust @UMDPublicPolicy @UMDResearch Households in communities of color less likely to use heat pumps in areas with direct benefits

"I'm in a cheap hotel in California which doesn't have a good internet or phone connection. I was going to have an MRI scan today but I'll have to cancel that!" - New physics laureate Geoffrey Hinton speaking at today’s press conference where his #NobelPrize was announced.

A new @CtrGlobSust study published in Applied Energy examines the impacts of opening new coal power plants in China and the closing of coal plants in the United States, offering valuable insights for a just transition to clean energy: doi.org/10.1016/j.apen…

Power outages have a negative impact on electric vehicle adoption. A doubling of power outages in one year in China can create a decline of more than $31.3 million per year in carbon reduction benefits. @lucy_qiu_ @UMDPublicPolicy @UMDResearch nature.com/articles/s4146…
