City Councilman Mario Bravo addresses the crowd attending the celebration for CPS Energy’s milestone of 30,000 homes being upgraded through the utility’s SaveNow Casa Verde Weatherization program in San Antonio, Texas, Friday, Feb. 10, 2023.CPS Energy is celebrating a milestone in its $70 million-a-year energy efficiency initiative: The city-owned utility has weatherized 30,000 homes since the program began in 2008.
As the focus on boosting the reliability of the power grid has intensified, utilities nationwide are relying on such efficiency and conservation programs to curb emissions and also reduce the amount of electricity they must generate. To be eligible for the home weatherization program, called Casa Verde, a CPS customer must earn less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level — which is about $29,000 for an individual or nearly $50,000 in annual income for a three-person household.
Since CPS first implemented an energy efficiency program in 2008, the utility has spent about $838 million to reduce demand by. That means CPS has reduced the demand it has to serve by more than the output of the 785-megawatt Spruce 2 coal plant, the city’s largest single power plant unit. The utility said Thursday it will solicit bids from solar developers early this year to build 320 megawatts of solar generation. One megawatt is roughly enough to power 200 Texas homes on a summer day.

During San Antonio show, Anthrax showed why it's still a metal powerhouse after 40 yearsNew York City thrash-metal legends Anthrax celebrated their 40th anniversary Friday night with an all-cylinders-firing tour stop at San Antonio’s Boeing Center at Tech Port. Comrades Black Label Society and Exodus offered able support.If there’s one thing a band should be able to do after 40 years, it’s bring consistency. And Anthrax delivered on that front, flooring the crowd with high-energy performances of its best-known tunes. The high-energy set drove home a reminder why the group remains one of metal’s top legacy acts.Prior to its first song, Anthrax projected a career-spanning video onto the curtain shrouding the stage. In the clip, a parade of luminaries praising the band, from the expected (Corey Taylor, Kerry King) to the unexpected (Lady Gaga! Keanu Reeves!). The footage reinforced the theme that the members of Anthrax truly enjoy themselves when performing, as evidenced by the goofy sense of fun the group mixes with its metal. While initially fun, the celebrity testimonials quickly wore out their welcome.Finally, Anthrax appeared behind the curtain. The silhouettes of guitarist Scott Ian and drummer Charlie Benante towered over the stage, appropriate since they’re heart of the band. As the strains of “Among the Living” rang through the crowd, the curtain dropped, and the thrashing began.By the time vocalist Joey Belladonna strode onstage and began belting out the lyrics — inspired by Stephen King’s pandemic apocalypse The Stand — there was no doubt who owned the evening. Shit was on, and the energy never flagged.Belladonna even displayed the same ‘do that he did in the ’80s. The man has kept it consistent.Anthrax played in front of a backdrop incorporating cover art from each of its albums. Even so, the majority of the setlist drew from the band’s classic era, which ended after 1990’s Persistence of Time and the firing of Belladonna — his current stint with the band, which began in 2010, is his third. The band name was emblazoned at the backdrop’s z
