> I could tell you as a pretty ironclad matter of fact that they don't advocate for anything like you're claiming. In my state they're advocating for things like incentives and rebates to install heat pumps and solar panels, as well as regulations that help utilities more effectively accommodate renewable energy. Stuff like that.
Sorry, but what are we talking about? You cannot make even a tiny dent in climate change with rebate programs for solar panels. Yes, it's going to help at the margins, but it's the kind of small-fry change that doesn't change anything in any meaningful way.
This thread is about preventing 1.5C warming. According to climate scientists, we have ~250Gt left in our carbon budget before we lock-in that 1.5C warming. There are all manner of media stories beating people over the head over this.
You can ban all cars, all trucks, all electricity, all global aviation, do it tomorrow, and you've only delayed things by a few years.

It's already worse. It's not going to get better for hundreds of years. But IF we were seriously head in that direction IMMEDIATELY ... we can could stop the MUCH MUCH worse from arriving ... forever. We missed our chance to avert what we've got. It's not a case of ALL or NOTHING. We -can- make changes to avert some of the damage that's already arriving ... for ourselves and our descendents.
