Comment on We don’t have room in the carbon budget for a world war.

Yeah but only wealthy people like you can actually switch to EVs and solar. Most people can’t afford an EV, and if they can, most of the time they have no place to charge it as a lot of people live in rented apartments and not in their own houses. So the majority of people are powerless when the oil gets more expensive, as they literally don’t have an alternative and have to suffer the higher costs.

I just looked. The newest Nissan Leaf is $29,990 with a 300 mile range. That’s not too bad compared to the more popular Toyota rav4 @ $ 31,900. Its way better than I thought. I hear you on the plug issue but if you can make it work EVs are the way to go.
