I dunno about that. Many disadvantaged populations really on electric for heat due to poor credit or not bekng able to come up with the capital to invest in a large amount of non electric heat. The sliding scale out have the opposite impact on that struggling population. It would be a win for the middle class but at what expense

If we do this right, there will be a lot of equity built into how we move forward. My argument is we need to move forward and make that equity a foundation of the effort.

I don't believe we have the time to wait until things seem more fair and better prepared.

I don't disagree. If we can do something we should. Give it a shot and if it is not working we can adjust. Sometimes, doing anything is better than doing nothing.
