More likely solved with energy efficiency mandates - create jobs while supposedly saving energy. A simple order that the government must send in these green trainees to replace your old toilet, change out your light bulbs, put in insulation, and caulk your windows whether you like it or not. Then we pay for it for government programs or mandatory inspections by these same “greens”.
Very good point. After all, how could the average American be expected to competently change out a light bulb or toilet? /sarc/
