Given that:
When will fossil fuel reserves be diminished?
"The new formula is modified from the Klass model and thus assumes a continuous compound rate and computes fossil fuel reserve depletion times for oil, coal and gas of approximately 35, 107 and 37 years, respectively."

36 years is within my "End of Life" scenario!
So, say, right now, all new/sold homes have to have an installed thermal storage system, ala Drake Landing, and a 3 kw solar grid tied PV system. [I estimate the cost to be about $20,000 per home. Or about 10% of the values of the homes.]
What are problems with this scenario?
Aside from the fact that I can't solve partial differential equations.
And PVC pipe has a 140°F limit.
