Biden administration bolsters energy-efficient manufacturing using wartime authority
The Biden administration is doling out a second round of funding for energy efficient heating systems, again using its wartime authority in the fight against climate change.
The Department of Energy is putting $85 million to accelerate the production of heat pumps under the Defense Production Act, it first told The Hill.
Heat pumps are a more energy efficient alternative to air conditioners and furnaces. They work by transferring heat instead of generating it — moving heat from outside indoors during the winter and moving heat from inside during the summer.
The funds will go to five facilities in New York, Tennessee, Texas and Rhode Island. The administration said the move is expected to create more than 500 jobs, nearly half of which will be in disadvantaged communities.
