Yes, but this exists now, with the government handouts and tax credits. They overwhelmingly go to affluent people who need these things the least.

There are unsexy trades like replacing oil burning heaters for gas or wood pellet stoves but these often aren't viewed as green enough and the people who would benefit have no one advocating for them.
