You brought up a good point, Mr. Mueller, in that I don't think the government has a very good measure of the efficiency of the dollars that they spend either. This goes for any government in history, present company not exempted.
You bring up a good point, and what I'm trying to get at is that without measuring things, you can't improve them. This is a fairly fundamental notion of systems engineering, but is the biggest bang for the buck multi-unit installations like multi-family dwellings and not individual detached dwellings? Do you understand what I'm saying?
Without making those comparisons from an analytical point of view, you're going to run down the rabbit hole with a limited amount of treasure and not get the results that we need. Couple that with some previous testimony we've had in which a previous witness warned of the possibility of costs actually going up for residential retrofit participants if the grid and the systems around that installation don't match on scale.
If the grid doesn't scale at the same rate as the adoption, and there is higher electricity consumption because of changes from gas to electricity, for example, it puts higher demands on the grid that the grid can't compensate for, and the actual cost to the homeowner goes up. How do you drive analytical decisions then?
