I wouldn't expect you could just one day say "All buildings will be upgraded, no matter what."

I think for commercial buildings you increase property tax a little for each item not upgraded and give them a tax break once they've achieved all the target upgrades.

For government buildings you just start chipping away. Start where you can both make the biggest impact and where you're losing the most money due to inefficiency.

For residential give tax incentives for upgrading specific items. After a given set of time charge some additional property tax for items that are not upgraded.

But I've got one issue here. I love, LOVE, my natural gas appliances. My tankless water heater is a big one. Electric tankless heaters just don't work as well. Same for my stove top, you can pry my gas burners from my cold dead hands.

I think we can, Ana should do things cleaner. It’s an area I wish there was even more investment in. But all the reports I read had price tags in the 10s of trillions.

For me a better place to start is improved green regs for new construction and machines.

Here’s a place to start. All new semis be CNG engines.
