Event Description
The Care for Creation Committee seeks to educate and advocate for the physical world. We see Global Warming as the most significant issue facing the world and our local community. One pathway to reducing the effects of Global Warming is to "electrify everything" that we use in our daily lives. This can include the appliances in our homes, the tools in our shops and yards and the vehicles we drive.
Electric vehicles are now available in far greater diversity than ever before, from small sedans to CUVs, SUVs and very capable pickup trucks.
Thanks to continued improvements in compressors and refrigerants, you can upgrade your home heating and water heating to use electric heat pumps instead of natural gas. Thanks to hybrid setups, today's heat pumps can achieve rapid recovery to meet changing demands.
A variety of manufacturers offer you a path to upgrade your yard tools to battery-electric instead of using gasoline power.
Lastly, but far from least, you can generate electricity on your rooftop using solar panels, and you can add battery storage to optimize energy availability even when the grid goes down during storms.
Clearly, electrification is happening, and you can see, hear and feel it at our Electrify Fair!
