As human actions worsen climate change, severity and frequency of extreme weather events increase. Within the category of extreme weather events, heat waves and cold flashes push the human body to its upper and lower limits of temperature regulation. When the power fails , our homes are similarly unable to regulate their interior temperatures. However, homes with energy efficiency retrofits can retain cool or warm air longer , while simultaneously saving money throughout normal yearly temperatur

Since the Pavley Act passed in 2002, California has been a leader in cutting greenhouse gas emissions from new cars. Even today, a third of all new U.S. electric vehicles (EVs) are sold in California. Getting here has been the result of a long regulatory process, which helped create a market for companies like Tesla. Achieving California’s ambitious targets will require an exponential increase in EV sales over the next eleven years.
