Washington, D.C. — Today, the Center for American Progress and Rewiring America released a new plan that would offer Americans incentives to switch from gas to electric appliances to make a difference in fighting climate change and air pollution.
The plan to have households replace just four appliances—heat pump space heaters, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops/ranges, and upgraded breaker boxes—would also create millions of new jobs and lower monthly bills for most Americans.
