How we get off fossil fuels looks very roughly like this:

  • Generate electricity without burning stuff (wind, solar, geothermal, storage, and maybe nuclear if it’s cheap enough)
  • Electrify everything we can (electric vehicles, elecrified mass transit, ebikes, heat pumps for home and district heat, nitrate fertilizer manufacturing, etc)
  • Stop doing the things we can’t (a few industrial processes)

      Yes that’s the point, politicians and government are representatives of the people.
