True. But the amount of energy we get from fossil fuels is immense and time is running short. We need to do more and faster. Replacing liquid fuels will be the hardest. But the sooner we start shifting whatever demand we can get at first will stretch the remaining supply to buy more time for the more difficult aspects of getting to zero. The first obvious move that is within our grasp right now is the transition of all personal transportation to electric drive. With an emphasis on practicality and efficiency and not luxury.
