Higher fuel costs can be offset with stimulus checks and tax credits. But regardless, first we have to agree that significantly reducing fossil fuel consumption is a goal.
- api 5y agoCoal for electricity generation alone accounts for >60% of all manmade CO2 emissions. We could get very far just phasing out coal and doing nothing else, yet rhetoric usually focuses on cars and aviation. Aviation is less than 5% of all emissions. Why is the focus out of line with the reality in this way?
- supertrope 5y agoYou can buy a zero tailpipe emission car right now. You can even ride a bus, carpool, or bike. Or take an offer for a remote working job in preference over an in office one. An individual can’t change the fuel mix of their grid. Airline usage is a luxury. Natural gas power plants are already displacing coal fired one.
