All the climate change protocols have significant large costs associated with them, too. $2000 doesn't sound like anything prohibitive - in comparison to a lot of other "pssing into the wind" costs - for a family of 5.
And as the technology improves, costs come down. Plus alternative/renewable fuel sources drive the cost down further.
