I agree fossil fuels are bad and renewables are good, but electric heat pumps aren’t going to be deployed in every house over the summer no matter how violent the price shock. To go green we need industrial capacity, lots of it, and a ton of political will that the far-right simply does not possess because they’d rather buy Russian gas in exchange for campaign financing.
Central heating and cooling. Pool resources, funding streams, build one geothermal to service a bunch of homes. Not a cure all, but it could make jobs too.
Then looking at new ways to make energy like the temperature differences.
It is not theoreticsl, oil just quashed it. The us navy has for decades had floating generators for tropical waters boiling and cooling ammonia at 80f surface and 60f below temps.
Other mediums could be utilized, and you guys need energy, it is the perfect time to go around big oil if you could keep them from sabotaging it. Where a river meets a lake or ocean, ground to water temperatures, energy could be added to help it along. While water expands the most at 16k volume, others expand as well.
