Plan to not need access to oil or gas by 2030 for your daily life
1. Do not purchase a new gas car. Don't even think about it. If you must own a car then purchase a used one for now
2. Replace most of your trips with walking, transit, biking, or e-biking
3. Replace leftover car usage with car share, and if not possible then a buy a small electric vehicle to share with neighbors
4. Replace all appliances with electric including furnace, water heater, drier, stove, and shut off natural gas line
You don't need to do it all at once. It will all take a while, but we all need to do this if we are going to decarbonize by the end of the decade and 7 years is not so far away
Each of us that does it is someone who can help the next person navigate the how to do it, and the earlier you do it the more prepared we will be when it becomes an emergency to decarbonize while gas is $20/gallon
The most important thing to change is transportation
The largest share of CA's carbon emissions come from driving and we must drastically change that in only a couple years.
@samuelgrootwassink we must stop both producing and consuming oil and gas
We will never have the political will to ban oil and gas extraction if a majority of voters are still using gas cars and appliances
