On Tuesday, June 28 at 1pm EDT, PSE Healthy Energy will host a briefing on the results of a new study on the chemical composition of natural gas used in homes.
Attendees of the briefing will hear directly from the authors of a new study examining the chemical composition of natural gas in homes throughout the Greater Boston area. Researchers will discuss potential implications of the findings for the millions of Americans who rely on gas to power appliances like kitchen stoves and water heaters.

Join us virtually on June 29, 2022 at 12:30 PM EST for the third webinar in a new series co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Labor Women’s Bureau and Cornell ILR Worker Institute. Equity in Focus: Building a Diverse, Inclusive Clean Energy Workforce will explore how the U.S. can tackle the climate crisis and create high-quality union jobs for women and frontline communities of color that suffer the most from climate change, pollution and historic inequities.
To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the U.S. will need to transition to a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. This is a historic transition with a range of labor, employment and broader socio-economic impacts. Over 15 million jobs will be created in renewable energy and storage, building energy efficiency and decarbonization, transportation electrification and more. How can we ensure that these new jobs are high-quality, union jobs and that women and frontline, disadvantaged communities are centered and have equitable access to these jobs?

While NYCP has offered free clean energy coaching consults for some time, we are now inviting everyone to meet our coaches. They are local residents of the Hudson Valley & Westchester who will provide info on how to:
- Save money on your energy bills
- Make your home more comfortable, especially in summer and winter
- Reduce unhealthy and polluting GHG emissions to improve your health
- They will answer a few frequently asked questions as well as open it up to attendees
The Personal Energy Coach is a free resource for community members, including tenants, residential and commercial building owners. Our Coaches will help you form a personalized plan to implement energy efficiency upgrades and transition off of fossil fuels.
This webinar is hosted by NYCP with our partners at Sustainable Hudson Valley and Bedford 2030.

The need for resilient, renewable energy is stronger than ever, as demand for clean electricity grows and worsening climate impacts challenge our aging power grid. The good news is that US Climate Alliance states—states led by a coalition of bipartisan governors committed to climate action—can show leadership and meet 100 percent of their electricity needs with renewable energy by 2035, according to On the Road to 100 Percent Renewables, a new analysis by UCS, Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition, GreenRoots, and COPAL MN (Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina).
Join the webinar to discuss the study results, which show that comprehensive clean energy transition policies are needed to phase out remaining fossil fuel plants and address the inequities within the existing power sector to ensure the benefits are distributed equitably.

Event Details
A new analysis by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), in conjunction with COPAL (Minnesota), GreenRoots (Massachusetts), and the Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition (MEJC), seeks to better understand the feasibility and implications of states meeting 100 percent of their electricity needs with renewable energy by 2035.
“On the Road to 100 Percent Renewables: States Can Lead an Equitable Energy Transition” (https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/road-100-percent-renewables) examines the feasibility and effects of leadership states members of the United States Climate Alliance meeting all of their electricity needs with renewable energy, while decarbonizing other sectors of the economy and ensuring equitable benefits to all communities. The study also conducted a detailed analysis for Massachusetts, Michigan, and Minnesota to further highlight the public health, economic, and energy affordability considerations of moving toward 100 percent renewable energy.
In this Clean Energy States Alliance webinar, report authors will discuss their findings.
Panelists:
• Paula García, Senior Bilingual Energy Analyst at UCS
• Bridget Vial, Energy Democracy Organizer at the MEJC
• Edyta Sitko, Energy Organizing Manager at UCS
• John Walkey, Director of Waterfront and Climate Justice Initiatives at GreenRoots
• Leslee Gutierrez, Lead Environmental Justice Organizer at COPAL MN
• Warren Leon, Executive Director, Clean Energy States Alliance (moderator)
This webinar is presented by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) on behalf of the 100% Clean Energy Collaborative. Learn more at https://www.cesa.org/projects/100-clean-energy-collaborative/
