a lot of this would be solved by just getting rid of the bad regulations that prevent AC and cooling-capable heatpumps from being installed. it would organically increase demand. govt doesn't have to do that much active work, just stop sabotaging things.

Perfectly true.

But, in a nat'l-gov't-level org, even "stop sabotaging things" is an enormous ask.

(If you're unfamiliar, talk to a few folks who've retired from the civil service. Or have a few decades of experience with mere local gov't.)
