Per capita, USA emissions have declined by 21% since 1980 [0]. Is it enough? No! All the items you're suggesting should be tackled. But we can't have an adult conversation only focusing on one element of the equation and literally ignoring the elephants in the room. The total emissions of USA are 14.34%. Cutting them to zero would be insufficient to stop the global growth to CO2 in the atmosphere. Worse, in a few years the emissions of the rest of the world would grow to compensate the zero-emissions USA and we'd be back to square one. I have yet to see a realistic plan for a carbon-balanced world economy even in a zero-emissions USA scenario.
