"The operation of this campus will have no emissions. The energy that we're utilizing is all green electricity that we're importing." - Joe Brothman, director of UCI Health
America's first all-electric hospital is opening soon in Orange County. Super cool. laist.com/news/all-ele...
The first all-electric hospital in the US will soon open in Irvine
It’s part of what the hospital says is a 'healthcare without harm' model.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Dig 10 feet underground, anywhere on Earth, and the ground temperature will be a balmy 50 to 60° Fahrenheit (10-15° C). When you tap that ambient heat and hook it up to a heat pump, it becomes the world’s most efficient form of heating and cooling.

Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for standing strong for Californians and the right to breathe clean air.
This piece of legislation would have made it more difficult to shape clean air policies in Southern California, the nation's smog capital.
