VC funding announcements from Google spin-offs are not normally the kind of things that I find interesting, but Dandelion Energy's Raise is different. They're working on a problem that most of the market is just ignoring - homeowners want geothermal, HVAC contractors don't really care what homeowners want & lenders are mostly just out of the picture.

It seems that Pepco is attempting to stop DC's plan to ban natural gas from new construction. I'm not surprised, I'm angry.

Banning natural gas in new construction & requiring DC to become carbon neutral is the kind of legislation we need. So happy to see it happening! If only we were brave enough to set more aggressive timelines. https://dcist.com/story/22/07/14/dc-natural-gas-ban-net-zero-carbon-new-construction/ #climatechange #BeyondGas #washingtondc
