What if I already have electric appliances and an EV?

Congratulations! You’re in great shape – but if you’re an energy nerd like us, you might have heard the saying that “the greenest energy is the energy you don’t use.” Since even the cleanest energy sources have some environmental impact, it’s worth considering whether you can power your life more efficiently, whether by air sealing or adding insulation to your home to reduce your heating and cooling needs, or replacing older appliances with even more efficient models (especially while federal tax credits and rebates are available over the next several years). Even something as simple as switching a traditional electric resistance hot water heater to a modern heat pump water heater can reduce your energy usage and save you hundreds of dollars a year.
