I'm not sure it really needs to. It's not being done in a vacuum, either. Adding carbon taxes and industry incentives we see strong signals towards emission reduction spending. We cannot just give government dollars to everyone to do it all. There's nowhere near enough money. But if we make it cheaper to have a heat pump than a furnace, create a market for home energy efficiency trades, incentivize manufacturers to produce goods here, create policy that strengthens solar ROI, etc, then things go themselves.
