UC Berkeley is deeply unserious about actually cutting its emissions, which it could very easily do by replacing its cogeneration plant with something else. Yes, it will be less efficient to generate steam from renewable electricity, but it will also be carbon-neutral. The cogen plant releases 100x more CO2 than the vehicle fleet but everyone wants to talk about a handful of EVs while whistling past the power plant.

  That sounds deeply serious to me (specific plan with < 5 years towards projected completion). I award you victory and all the points.
