The problem is that the correct way to do this that lets the economy itself find the most efficient and effective way to eliminate emissions? That's carbon pricing. No need for the government to pick winners and losers, just make everybody pay for the emissions and then businesses and individuals will invest in green solutions because nobody likes wasting money.

And despite that being the economics-oriented market-based, scientific, conservative solution, the "Conservatives" freaking hate it.

And they can destroy it with the stroke of a pen.

So the Liberals need to find solutions that are sticky. Things that can't be destroyed with a pen. Things like charging infrastructure, and insulation, and green power. Things made of concrete and wires.
