re: #50 Jack Burton, Gunner on Death Star of David

Also, changing Joe Average’s commute to all electric is only a small percentage of emissions. They could have left cars, suvs, and light trucks as is since the 90s and focused on dealing with emissions caused by shipping/freight, air transportation, those god awful floating polluting petri dishes (cruise ships), manufacturing, and of course, power generation and we would be way better off.

ourworldindata.org

Transport is 16.2% of CO2 emissions.
Road Transport is 11.9%
Aviation 1.9%
Shipping 1.7%

So, no, you’re wrong, “those god awful floating polluting petri dishes” are not a priority target, road transport is.

Sixty percent of road transport emissions come from passenger travel (cars, motorcycles and buses), so actually “Joe Average’s commute” is a priority target.
