The Issue
Our homes are more than just structures; they are sanctuaries where our families grow and find respite. As someone passionately concerned about the future of our planet, I am urging Governor Gavin Newsom to bring forth the necessary action to implement the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) sanctioned RISE Homes program. This program is aimed at putting California at the forefront of sustainable and eco-friendly living.
The RISE Homes initiative has already received approval, yet it awaits crucial authorization. This vital program is designed to encourage the rebuilding of homes that are all-electric, healthy, and comfortable -- homes that stand resilient against the escalating threats posed by climate change. Implementing this program not only aligns with our state's goals for achieving carbon neutrality but it is exemplary of the modern evolution of homebuilding that we desperately need.
Evidence shows that all-electric homes produce significantly fewer emissions than those relying on fossil fuels. A study conducted by the Rocky Mountain Institute highlights that a home powered entirely by clean electricity can reduce carbon emissions by up to 60% compared to a natural gas-dependent home. Embracing the RISE Homes model means long-term savings, improved public health due to better indoor air quality, and the empowerment of communities through sustainable living choices.
California has suffered from some of the most severe impacts of climate change -- soaring temperatures, devastating wildfires, and long-term droughts. This stark reality demands immediate and impactful action. Programs like RISE Homes can be a catalyst for delivering the urgent transformation required in our housing sector.
By signing this petition, you join a powerful call to action directed at Governor Newsom. Urge him to accelerate the implementation of the RISE Homes program to ensure that every Californian has the opportunity to reside in homes that are safe, clean, and prepared for the future challenges posed by climate change. Your signature could be the tipping moment that supports sustainable development and demonstrates strong, forward-thinking leadership.
