Jesse Keenan from Tulane's Center on Climate Change highlights the necessity for Philadelphia to adopt cost-effective measures like weatherization to reduce emissions. As the city seeks decarbonization, he suggests prioritizing funding for public transportation and ensuring new constructions are equipped with electric appliances. Advocacy for electrification and improved energy efficiency standards is emphasized, indicating that necessary upgrades will take time. Clean energy attorneys stress the need for transparent planning and reporting to meet the city’s ambitious 2050 zero-emissions goal.
If they're serious about decarbonization, they should probably do that.
You wouldn't wait to electrify; it's good to get that ball rolling.
