And work remotely to reduce oil consumption, and reduce the power requirements for lighting and computing, and increase population density for greater efficiency.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoYou can't efficiency to net-zero. It helps, but it can't be the primary mechanism.
- gcanyon 5y agoThe perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good. And net-zero won't be the same as zero. With newer technologies like synthetic fuel based on renewables, efficiency can get us to net zero.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoThat's a pretty funny definition of efficiency. Synthetic fuel based on renewables is about 10% efficient grid-to-wheel vs 90%+ efficiency for battery electric. Synthetic fuels will be a crucial part of net zero, but aren't efficient or cheap.
