Well the finance could be managed by offsetting the cost against earnings. This might only add a few percent to the purchase price anyway. Builders cut their costs and make the house more expensive to run.
Many countries already offered incentives to improve efficiency, but we need more take-up.
We need nuclear power for baseline load and other more responsive options for fluctuating demand.
