In this week's newsletter from Rewiring America the "BIG news: New York just became the first state in the nation to roll out an Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) rebates program!  Other states coming soon! "...If you are relatively well-off, you will probably not qualify for rebates. But there are still millions of dollars of incentives available outside of rebate programs. All tax credits are available nationwide NOW, covering #heatpumps, #heatpumpwaterheaters, #solar, #homebatteries, #EVs, #EVchargers, #weatherization, and #electricalpanel and #rewiring work. These can be claimed as part of your annual tax filing."

Join us for the Campus Consortium for Decarbonization Summer meeting, hosted by The College of New Jersey, June 17th, 9:30AM to 1PM.  The event is free and requires REGISTRATION https://lnkd.in/ejFWnppy. FUNDING IS STILL AVAILABLE for colleges and universities across New Jersey to participate in the Higher Education Decarbonization Pilot, offered by New Jersey Board of Public Utilities Clean Energy Program. Reimbursements of up to 100% of the cost for the development of a decarbonization plan Reimbursements of $1000/ton of CO₂ equivalent reduced, up to 75% of the total project cost This program is designed to encourage colleges, universities, and educational institutions to participate and offers incentives to support decarbonization efforts, including the cost of conducting a study to identify opportunities for integrating clean energy sources and building a decarbonization plan. Whether you’re actively participating, or still considering it, please join us to learn about how to participate and what is required for funding. Sessions include: The College of New Jersey was one of the first schools to engage with the pilot program. Paul J. Romano, RA, CEM, Energy Manager at TCNJ will review the school’s experience so far, sharing some insights and advice from their recent experience. Calculating CO2e Schools participating in the Higher Education Decarbonization Pilot need a dependable way to calculate the carbon savings that result from planned initiatives. TRC Companies, Inc., on behalf of New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program (NJCEP) has created a simple Excel-based calculator tool that will help participants and their energy consultants to calculate projected CO2e avoidance, along with the resulting incentives that may be available to them. This event is being hosted by the Campus Consortium for Decarbonization with the support of TCNJ. CCD is an initiative within the New Jersey Clean Energy Learning Center and is funded by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

Carbon emissions: from 200 years of data, one thing is clear. (yet we talk too little about it) Cumulatively, the West's emissions dwarf the Global South's 😓 Even today, the average Briton produces more carbon emissions in two days than a Congolese person does in an entire year. But the situation has become a lot more complex. Today, China is the # 1 emitter, followed by the US and India. This tells us that the challenge of reducing carbon emissions is now a global responsibility. However, the West still has a long way to clean up its own mess. Together with BRICS, we should take the leadership to curb the climate. What's your take on this?
