Very good observations concerning a very complex issue. Setting up the "ideal" regulatory framework from scratch would already be very difficult, but in the real world, we need to start from a patchwork of existing regulations and evolve them into something that gives the desired regulatory signals in a fair way. Just looking at recent experiences in Flanders with support for solar panels illustrates how well-intentioned policies can easily lead to significant unintended consequences, with corrective actions then unfairly affecting some citizens that invested in the best available clean home energy technologies.
