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)
Would have been cool to see Europe starting this seriously years ago, instead of titering and waiting for oil situation to explode. But at least it’s happening. Now I hear friends and family back home that were not into electric cars, now finally considering getting one. Now that even the availability of gas at station is not a given. Brighter future!
