Transport is only 20% of global CO2 emissions. You need to do much more than just convert cars, trucks, train, ships and airplanes to run on electricity. I don't share your optimism that this is doable without significant increase in how much things cost.
- AnthonyMouse 7y agoTransport is "only 20%" but the combination of transport, power generation and heat is the majority of CO2 emissions, and all of those things have zero carbon alternatives at not much higher prices than the existing methods. And most of the rest of it is "agriculture" and "industry" which is a lot of the same thing -- a diesel tractor or bulldozer is still a thing we can make run on batteries instead.
