Recent updates from this team-
April 30 at 1:35 PMI was surprised to find my house was a 9.3 out of 10. Most recommendations were incremental or really big. I may look at a water heater replacement, moving to tankless when my current traditional atmospheric vent tank style water heater dies. That'll save me about 24 therms of gas per year.

April 30 at 8:44 AMA gallon of gas is about 19 lbs of CO2 (not including drilling, refining, transport). The equivalent energy from the national grid is 9 lbs of CO2, just from generation (burning fuel). The lifecycle cost of that power from coal is 19 lbs of CO2. Lifecycle emissions from natural gas is 10.2 lbs of CO2. Lifecycle emissions from Utility Solar is...
