Reply to comment by PeteButtiCIAg in White House announces $13.5 bln funding to help households with energy bills by Cyberdragofinale

I'd like a heat pump and solar in my New England home now that oil just kills the planet faster and there isn't enough forest for everyone to heat with wood. Our methane-based electrical generation isn't going so well, either. $35-45k is a lot of money but with the right incentives it would make more sense.

I totally agree. And it would've made a lot of sense to subsidize those things at any point in the last 40 years. Now we're doing the good ol neoliberal "well we defunded it and now it doesn't work, we gotta privatize it, waddaya want from us" complaint. But this time with respect to the continuation of human civilization.
