"The world just suffered through the hottest October on record amid a year of
unprecedented heat. That includes searing temperatures in the Pacific Northwest
this past summer. While not as extreme as 2021, when a historic heat wave
blanketed the region and killed over 800, record-breaking warmth once again
struck the region where air conditioning isn’t yet common.
There’s worse in store as climate change exacerbates heat waves. But Washington
state resident Celia Schorr is ready whenever the mercury rises. She recently
had a heat pump installed through an innovative financing program that could
serve as a model to other communities where the four- or five-figure
installation costs are out of reach."
