Of course there is.
Incandescent lights have been banned for years in most European countries to speed up the adoption of led-lighting. Street lights are being replaces by leds. Tax cuts and subsidies are given for energy efficient housing.
- andrewstuart 3y agoI knew someone would say "but light globes!". Yes of course all appliances are now energy rated etc. In some countries inefficient lightglobes are banned. But I'm not talking about that - I'm talking about systematic change in behaviour of homes and business to try to use less energy, perhaps encouraged through tax or other incentives.
- andruby 3y agoWhat you describe seems exactly that to me. When building a new home and it’s energy neutral or very efficient, you get a large tax benefit. All home builders I know off take this into account. Do you have an example or idea of what you are thinking about? Plenty of homes are now switching to heat pumps and they’ve added solar in the last decade so more and more homes have become “energy-neutral” to a degree. Add in electric vehicles and residential batteries and we should start seeing some families be self-sufficient It’s probably too little and maybe too late, but there are plenty of changes
