Hundreds of thousands of Americans are still without power - many in poorly-sealed homes that get cold quickly. But some policymakers are stepping backward, not forward, in making homes more prepared.

Bowser is also proposing another hobby horse of hers: Reversing the energy efficiency standards for buildings, a huge source of emissions in the city. She's tried to do this several times before. Ironic, because it was part of a clean energy bill that she championed...

Congress is considering cancelling two key federal policies that help make more new homes energy efficient—and reduce costs. ACEEE’s Lowell Ungar explains in HousingWire:

Congress may reverse federal policies that lower home energy costs, threatening affordable housing and raising monthly bills for millions.

“...his promises to be a champion of workers are hollow,” said Judy Conti of the National Employment Law Project. “He surrounds himself with people who are anti-worker. He has a history of being anti-worker, but says he's a champion of workers. He’s just not.”
