In the U.S. and other industrialized nations, this accounts for over 80% of annual emissions. It will not be possible to prevent a climate crisis until we STOP burning fossil fuels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/f7cd90c2-029c-4748-b247-5823f5825144/BridgeToNowhere2.jpeg The Problem - Natural gas is methane … a bridge to nowhere! Natural gas is mostly made up of methane- a potent greenhouse gas that is up to 86 times worse than carbon dioxide in the short term. Burning fossil fuels like natural gas for energy is bad for our health, is unsafe, and is the main cause of climate-fueled disasters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/ce6f48ef-ff54-42e8-812c-cd1fbc89117b/13th2121_SolarwGas_Slide1.JPG The Problem Many people add solar, but leave natural gas hookups. We need total electrification. https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/home daily 1.0 2025-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/3b029aa9-e7a1-4f37-b581-a14cb5486d26/Induction-Guy.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/bd05ac55-db93-48b4-bf70-954d35cb5dc2/BridgeToNowhere2.jpeg Home - Natural Gas is methane, a potent greenhouse gas … not a bridge to the future, but a bridge to nowhere! Burning fossil fuels produces most greenhouse gas emissions. Technologies exist that do not require fossil fuels, that can be powered by clean electricity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/1654310056752-Y4T8YK3SD1HTLRCKRQZH/unsplash-image-H9c9HuYfbbc.jpg Home - It will take all of us… A transition to a clean energy future requires systemic and individual change. We need collective action by voters and policymakers at all levels A “Just Transition” will include support for low-and moderate-income (LMI) people to electrify their homes. Organizations like Seeds for the Sol in Corvallis OR are already tackling this equity work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/218db09c-53bb-404e-aa1b-01e2c9ecc4b4/Cars.png Home - Individual scale solutions are the most important Collectively, we as individuals produce over 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. We can reduce this by driving electric cars, by heating our buildings and water with electric heat pumps, and by purchasing renewable electricity generated by wind or solar. “People in the USA are funding the climate emergency with the billions of dollars we spend on fossil fuels every year.” – Electrify Now You can accept the electrify everything challenge to reduce your carbon footprint to zero.

Once your building is fully sealed and insulated, the correct size of heat pump can be determined. Heat pumps can operate either with your duct system or without (these are called “ductless mini-split” systems.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/dbe967b0-7733-453e-97a6-cee1c6f7fc77/Induction.jpg Electrify Your Home - “With induction cooktops, you can maintain high-temperature settings anywhere in the world. Unlike gas that gets affected at high altitudes and low temperatures of the environment, induction gives you precise temperature settings with high efficiency.” — Chef Andrew Forlines “Gas burners, if they ever burn clean in a professional setting, would probably only be that way for the first month. Those things are, by and large, so dirty and get so clogged and become so inefficient over time. Very few kitchens operate at 100 percent efficiency and 100 percent cleanliness, simply because manpower isn’t there to maintain restaurants in that way.” — TikTok food star Jon Kung “Induction is a powerful hob and 40% faster than gas. The time it takes to heat up the cooking vessel is about five seconds. It is one of the main reasons why a lot of restaurants have taken on induction as it’s their job to be quick.” — Chef Tagere Southwell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/33bb23bd-9513-4bc7-872a-806ecd5c6f5a/TopChef.jpg Electrify Your Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/community-partners daily 0.75 2022-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/1649907820390-884TRYV71DSHPB8E2XYJ/47097571_528153267685799_5839957913879183360_o.jpg Community Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/1654311763289-OHT5WE4Y5UDFVTZ6GZZP/cropped-SFTS.mainlogo1.png Community Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/1654312340888-RSUTQURFAWVWB3M0WZWD/Horizontal%2B2%2Bcolor-01.png Community Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/1654312626116-1UKQXYDNENUEUNOEQXNQ/Screen+Shot+2022-06-03+at+8.16.54+PM.png Community Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/1654312664693-VI75J863L6JCDCYECI3Z/FFE-header.png Community Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/1654313043805-4CDY4WJZHR6AV8385ZD4/350corvallislogo-sm.png Community Partners https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-07-21 https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/donate daily 0.75 2025-02-12 https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/handouts daily 0.75 2022-09-28 https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/retrofit daily 0.75 2022-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/29f86fba-8910-4c96-a783-4287a0799c15/Energy-Efficient-Retrofit-Cover.jpg Retrofit Thermal imaging shows where heat is lost in your home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/a84d1bcd-9d76-4a2c-b3b5-ea51819dfbd9/HouseEnergyLosses.JPG Retrofit - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/a316f892-fa91-4910-81ba-a1cc6365edc0/Blower-door-diagram-R21.jpg Retrofit A blower door test evaluates the air tightness of your home. https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/the-science daily 0.75 2022-07-11 https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/gasfaq daily 0.75 2022-07-01 https://www.electrifycorvallis.org/about-us daily 0.75 2024-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6248a4a6ab8586407a4fbc1f/f0f72440-1107-4a87-8489-917573e308ab/BridgeToNowhere2.jpeg About Electrify Corvallis - We support ending the use of fossil fuels now!
