I wonder if CA has noticed that electricity prices in the investor-owned-utility regions are so out of whack that a heat pump with a COP of 4 is no longer economical compared with a reasonably efficient gas-fired appliance.
The solution isn’t more regulation or incentives, IMO. It’s to fix the utterly broken electricity market.
(This is a great example, BTW, of how public-private partnerships can be dramatically worse than full public control. Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Los Angeles are doing quite a bit better.)
