Renewable Heat Now is a campaign organized by Alliance for a Green Economy, New Yorkers for Clean Power, NY-GEO, HeatSmart Tompkins, Sane Energy Project, and FrackAction. It advocates for accelerating the adoption of ground-source (geothermal) and air-source heat pumps in New York to reduce the amount of fossil fuels used to heat and cool our homes and workplaces. It educates the public about heat pumps. It also advocates for New York State policies that will enable all New Yorkers to afford to make the switch to these renewable-ready heating and cooling technologies. renewableheatnow.org
