"9 States Unite to Promote Heat Pump Adoption for Cleaner Air"
Nine states, including California and New York, have signed an agreement to promote heat pump sales, aiming for heat pumps to make up a significant portion of residential heating and cooling equipment sales by 2030 and 2040. The move is part of efforts to combat air pollution and climate change, with industry support from companies like Schneider Electric and Siemens. The states will need to develop their own policies and incentives to deploy heat pumps, but the agreement signals a collective push towards cleaner, more energy-efficient alternatives in the fight against climate change.
