This law would clear up the rules for installing simple plug-in solar kits to homes and apartments. But customers that already have solar can add a plug-in kit without further permission, and without losing their net metering bill plan. For more how-to info see

Thinking of getting rid of fossil fuels from your home and car, by going all electric? You likely don't need to upgrade your electric service. Only 2% of homes in the PG&E area had peak power demand over 88 amps, and half had peaks of only 30A. Research here:

It's sadly predictable that dangerous street designs kill people. Yet cities feel the need to wait for a body count before taking fixing their mistakes. Latest example is Hayward, where 3 pedestrians were killed in the last 10 days.

#HeatPumpWeekCA
! What's a heat pump, and why are we celebrating them? Simply put, a heat pump is an all-electric system that moves heat instead of making it. They're 3-4x more efficient than gas-powered alternatives, resulting in energy savings and lower carbon emissions⚡

I am so fucking sick of the both-sidesing that keeps happening re: Hopkins bike lanes. Pro-street safety folks want the city to try harder to keep them from dying and the pro-parking people want to keep parking in front of their destinations for free forever. These things are not the same.

🚨Hopkins Street🚨 With an important Council committee vote coming on April 15, it's time, yet again, to speak up for pedestrian🚶♀️, bicycle 🚲, and transit 🚌 improvements on Hopkins! Take action👇

loading . . .
Make Hopkins Street Safe for ALL!
On April 15, Berkeley City Council Facilities, Infrastructure, Transportation, Environment & Sustainability (FITES) Committee will weigh in on a proposal several Councilmembers have put forward to repave Hopkins Street without any bike or transit infrastructure improvements. Act now to urge the FITES committee to instead recommend repaving Hopkins with pedestrian, bike, and transit improvements, as approved in an earlier 8-1 council vote. We can't afford to miss this opportunity. Protected bike lanes on Hopkins will provide critical low-stress bicycle connections to schools and other key destinations for people of all ages and abilities. If the City does not create those connections when the street is repaved, there will continue to be a significant gap in the City’s low-stress bike network, likely for decades. Send the committee a letter now to let them know that making Hopkins Street safe for ALL is important to you.
