All the electric power could be nigh-carbon-neutral on the big scale if you just did nuclear power, that's a quarter off.
Transportation is basically just cars, planes, unelectrified train lines and not much else.
Agriculture is basically mostly down to animal products and stupid shit like growing wheat in arizona or whatever
If you were climate stalin, a 5 year plan would be enough of a timespan to knock down US Emissions by about like half.
What would be the consequences of just banning air travel? Do people really need to do it?
I mean people do have loved ones across distances. They also love driving cars, eating meat and many of them hate nuclear power
The point I'm trying to make here isn't necessarily that'd be easy to do, but that it would be simple to do.
