I'm giving away the punchline, but the results convinced me that it's far better for the climate and justice to eliminate fossil fuel heating in lots of low income homes&#160;than&#160;to spend the same amount of money completely decarbonizing a lesser number.&#160; We need to do it all eventually, but this is the way to make big change fast.&#160;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Wendy Ring</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2023 10:35:24 +0000</pubDate><enclosure length="MB" type="audio/mpeg" url="http://www.radio4all.net/files/wring123@gmail.com/chicago_mixdown.mp3"/></item></channel></rss>
