At our meeting in January, Hudson made a compelling case for heat pumps. During the Ely Winter Festival we had the opportunity to see and drive a variety of electric vehicles on display at Ely’s DQ. These technologies are becoming more known and accepted, and certainly help us reduce our carbon footprint. But making changes is not easy. We have lots of questions, for example:
What is the range of an EV in cold weather?
What will a heat pump cost and is it noisy?
Do I have enough electrical power at my home for all this stuff?
What does LCP or (Minn Power) charge per kWh for a heat pump or EV charger?
What about all those federal and state tax incentives and rebates we hear about?
Our February meeting features Nik Allen from CERTs (Clean Energy Resource Teams) to help us find some answers. Thank you Nik! Here is an excerpt from the CERTs web page:
The Clean Energy Resource Teams work across the state of Minnesota to provide residents with the best unbiased resources, tools, guidance, connections, funding and financing opportunities, events, and stories to get your projects done. Best of all, we’re not trying to sell you anything: our resources and tools are free.
