Between space heating, transportation, water heating, and cooking, about 42% of energy-related emissions are things that consumers have some control over in their homes. We have to decarbonize both the supply side (which is happening super rapidly with wind/solar) as well as the demand side (which is much harder because it requires coordinated action across millions of people). And we have to do this incredibly swiftly to keep a livable climate.
