Rewiring America ran the numbers and found that a big investment in heat pumps would end up paying for itself.

    This is literally what taxation and subsidies are for.

    What if we just redistributed the wealth so that we had no more billionaires?

    If a single billionaire bought all the heat pumps it would result in heat pumps becoming incredibly expensive overnight. The billionaire would be overpaying for every single one and it would take years for prices to correct
