Best, Erik

Your proposal has many interesting components, but we have not selected it as a finalist because many of the ideas in it have been practised elsewhere. The actions, as you point out, need to be taken by society as a whole, and in a future proposal we would like to see more details on how (and why) specific actors will take actions you propose such as reducing the prices of energy efficieny products.
