As we saw last week, extreme heat is already a public health crisis here in Maryland and across the country. Heat waves are the deadliest weather hazard, and their frequency has tripled in recent decades due to climate change.

We’re paying too much for energy bills – while utility companies and data center developers reap record profits. But it doesn’t have to be this way. A brighter future with lower costs and clean power is possible.

How can Maryland create jobs, lower energy bills, & deliver efficient cooling to more residents, especially low-income households? By implementing Clean Heat Rules that help upgrade homes with state-of-the-art heat pumps.
