Seems like a good time to help people in the PNW replace gas furnaces with heat pumps that reduce carbon pollution and provide air conditioning. /1 #electrificiation nytimes.com/2021/06/27/us/…
Meanwhile, @yoohyun_jung reports on a very sharp SF increase in AC adoption, more than 11 percentage points in 4 years.

We have to make sure the news characterizes this as not only a climate threat but an opportunity. /2
In 2019 our report with @ethree_inc showed that the biggest predictor of cost-effective CA building electrification was existing or planned central AC. And our data implies new AC adoption would be swamped by the climate benefits of eliminating gas. ethree.com/e3-quantifies-… /3

I also have a story like @MayUseFullLane, from Dec 30, 2011. I had a concussion from an avoidable bike crash that caused long-lasting symptoms.
Here is a 🧵.
A favorite memory of Berkeley grad school is biking in the hills for exercise, which I did several times per week. I preferred to meander the steep, winding roads, in neighborhoods I now recognize as having exclusionary zoning: and this afforded safe, scenic streets for some.
In South Berkeley my favorite rides required just 1 unsafe crossing at Alvarado and Tunnel. In 2004 I emailed @CityofBerkeley asking for a crosswalk or a light and they said they were "looking into it." 7 yr later it had still not arrived.
