I've been thinking about how to get homes to electrify. I work in clean energy and care about climate change, yet it's been a slow slog for my Bay Area home because it's all so darn expensive. We've managed to get solar and electrify everything except our furnace (including our hot tub heater, now a new heat pump), but that item will run us at least $18K, so the $2K IRA tax credit hardly makes a dent. And forget about batteries. How can we incentivize electrification to make it happen at the speed and scale we need?
Hope you feel better soon, David!!
