    How is there a chance of doing this while also pushing electric vehicles? EVs are going to add a lot of demand to the grid. Even if every house has solar, I don’t think they can charge two electric cars, heat and cool, and also run their other appliances. There will be added load.

    Also, I agree with the comments about focusing more on the overall supply of housing in order to drive down cost.

    Who cares when your electricity bill goes from $200 to $400 per month when mortgage payments go from $2000 to $6000 per month in the span of a couple of years.

    I’d rather pay a $400 energy bill and have a $2000 mortgage.
