Hey Google Nest Community,
It’s pretty safe to say that climate change will remain a key topic in 2023, so as we prepare for a new year, we want to make sure you’re prepared for an “electric future”: finding new ways to keep the air clean, grow renewable energy, and improve your daily life. The Nest Renew team just posted two great blogs about preparing for an electric future and clean energy.
Check out the latest Nest Renew blog: Embracing an Electric Future to learn more about how you can prepare for an electric future. It includes details about electric vehicles (EV’s), induction cooktops, and heat pumps, which are just a few of the most common ways to electrify your lifestyle to help fight climate change and even save you money.
Another interesting read: Our homes can all be power plants. Virtual Power Plants use advanced software to essentially mimic the impact of a traditional power plant but are able to reduce the amount of energy needed to keep the grid in balance. Smart thermostats, like Nest thermostats, can be a key to VPPs because they can respond to signals to shift their energy usage.
We want to know how you are fighting climate change or working toward an electric future. Let us know your lifestyle changes (and money saving tips!) in the comments below.
