It is not hard, but it is expensive. Some nudging is required.
PV home panels have a long ROI against the bare cost of electricity, but we pay 12.5 cent energy tax per kWh at the plug which makes it worthwile for many.
Or we can buy shares in local PV plants or wind farms and deduct our shares worth of their output from our energy tax.
The high cost of electricity would kill the EV market, if not for the even higher tax on gas & cars that use gas. So there are quite a lot of Teslas on the streets here.
Taxation forces us toward green technology. I'd rather see our govt use a more positive approach or spread its taxation scheme to businesses too, but hey.
