Again it's a supply chain problem. Regardless of how much cash you have, you can't just order a new battery factory or nuclear power plant and have it up and producing in a couple years. We have eviscerated our supply chains for those things and no matter how much money we throw at the problem now it's going to take decades to reindustrialize. Rome wasn't built in a day.

If the concern is over externalities such as CO2 emissions and other types of pollution then sure, let's tax those directly. That will help accelerate solutions through free market mechanisms.
