I'm fairly confident that we will be able to meet our demand for induction, induction cook stoves, and heat pumps. I think actually what you would you just mentioned regarding skilled trade is probably a bigger issue because that does take time. And in this country, it takes certification. So if you're entering the trade right now, do you think it's going to be repairing 40 year old boilers? Or is it going to be installing something new? Is there an advantage to becoming the person who's smart on that?
2022 was a banner year for climate – both in terms of climate-fueled disaster and historic federal investments in clean energy, electric vehicles and home electrification. The questions now: How will the programs be implemented ? How will the money be spent – and who will benefit? This week, we examine the coming trends in raw material prices, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, new investments in clean tech, tighter rules on pollution and western water negotiations.
