There are more than just power plants to worry about... Concrete is 8% of our CO^2 emissions, agriculture is 9%. There are these things that no one thinks about that need to be addressed as well that sneak under the radar. There are teams working on them that don't get the glitz and glamour (or funding) that will make an impact, if adopted.
EDIT:
I'm not downplaying transportation pollution... just a quick edit to make it clear.
- only_as_i_fall 5y agoI think awareness about the negative environmental effects of agriculture and specifically cattle and other animals used for meat is at least much more prevelant than it used to be. The concrete thing probably still flies under the radar though.
