live in a safer, more comfortable home with lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions
We can all live better lives today and help create a sustainable future by choosing to electrify!
Join the electrification movement!
- Burning fossil fuels for energy is the primary cause of the climate crisis.
- We can stop burning fossil fuels and shift our energy dollars to clean electricity powered by renewable energy, and high performance electric products for heating, cooking and transportation.
- Electrification brings extraordinary benefits to our daily lives and is the most powerful action we can take to address the climate crisis.

Impact: Avoid 3-6 TONS of CO2 per year
Replace everything that burns fossil fuels with an electric alternative. No compromise, high efficiency electric solutions will make your home safer and more comfortable.
Impact: Avoid 5-11 TONS of CO2 per year
Replace your gas powered car with an Electric Vehicle. Experience better performance, cut fuel and maintenance costs in half, and never visit a gas station again. EV’s are just better automobiles.
Impact: Avoid 4-8 TONS CO2 per year.
Spread the word and promote solutions that prioritize front line communities. Donate to charities and support policies that electrify low income homes in your area. Spread the word about the benefits of electrification.
Take Action!
To make it easier to take these actions, we have assembled information, contractors and resources so you can save time and money and make the best decisions.
The problem is clear…
Urgent action is needed
Scientists agree we need to cut heat trapping emissions to zero by 2050 to avoid the worst effects of climate change - waste reduction and energy efficiency are important but can not get us all the way to net zero.
Nearly all emissions come from fossil fuels
Extracting and burning fossil fuels for energy - creates the vast majority of carbon emissions. In the U.S. and other industrialized nations, this accounts for over 80% of annual emissions. It will not be possible to prevent a climate crisis until we STOP burning fossil fuels.
Most household emissions are from energy
60% of household emissions for the average American comes from burning fossil fuels for the energy we purchase. It is possible to drive those emissions to ZERO with clean energy and electrification.
The Electrify Everything solution…
Power from the wind and sun
We can use renewable energy for nearly all our energy needs, and stop burning fossil fuels. Wind and solar are now the lowest cost sources for energy generation. Renewable energy is making the electric grid cleaner every year. We can use clean electricity to power efficient electric devices for heat, transportation, cooking and more.
Lower energy costs
A typical U.S. household with 2 cars spends nearly $8,000 per year on energy expenses for electricity, gasoline and natural gas. Almost all of that money is spent on fossil fuels which are creating the climate crisis. New electric products are far more energy efficient than fossil fuel powered devices. All-Electric homes and EV’s can cut yearly energy expenses in half and produce ZERO emissions.
Improve quality of life
Electrification is not a compromise. Modern electric products are more efficient, quieter and require less maintenance than fossil fuel products. The produce no toxic indoor or outdoor air pollution. They do not require “filling up”. Look around at all the devices in your home that are powered by fossil fuels - there is a high performance electric alternative for each one.
Help build an abundant future
Many of the problems in the world that we accept as “normal” are the result of burning fossil fuels. When you electrify, you will be helping to create a future with cleaner AIR that is free from fossil fuels pollution, more available clean WATER, better paying and safer JOBS, reduced HEALTH expenses and a clean ENVIRONMENT free from oil spills, methane leaks, toxic waste, acid rain etc.
Our actions make a difference
Because these actions eliminate sources of emissions, the cumulative effect is enormous. By taking these measures, a typical household with 2 cars will avoid over 20 Tons of CO2 emissions every year - FOREVER. Those actions taken today could avoid over 500 Tons of carbon pollution by 2050 for a single household.
Electrify everyone
Communities of color and low income families are the most effected by climate change and fossil fuels pollution. Policies that prioritize electrification of these communities will help reduce energy burdens and create healthier homes for those who need it most. Please support policies and organizations that prioritize equity, and tell your friends and family about the benefits of electrification.
