homes and commercial buildings consume roughly two-fifths of the country’s overall energy, three-fourths of all electricity, and account for most of the peak electricity demand that drives generation and power grid infrastructure costs. Meritage is one of several national homebuilders showcasing these technology combinations.

In the US, 25% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from electricity generation. This is not surprising, with coal and natural gas representing about 60% of electrical supply. Diminishing cost of renewable energy: As with any expanding technology market, the cost of generating renewable energy is going down over time.

Contrary to the IEA's conclusions that no further fossil fuel exploration is needed after 2021, Shell's plan aims to "grow natural gas supply to keep our plants full" - admittedly largely from third parties - while creating vast carbon sinks for offsets to justify its continued fossil fuel production. A 'wake-up call' for natural gas.

Powered by electricity, heat pumps are currently set to play a key role in decarbonising heating and replacing gas boilers, which heat around 85 percent of Britain’s homes and account for 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions nationwide. The future of hydrogen in heating homes in the UK is less assured.
