24. Not impossible at all, everything is ripe for this sort of policy program
There is a standard example used regarding the effort to transition - the moon program. YOU may think it was a flop but most people view it as a crowning effort in our cultures (species') history.

I don't think you understand the term personal transport sector - that means Privately own vehicles (POV). Also remember the penetration numbers are based on percentage of yearly sales. It certainly can be done. As to banning fossils, that is a progressive process similar to rising cigarette taxes.

All of the policies on that list are good and workable programs that today's energy market bring well within the realm of reality.

The replacement I referred to for fission nuclear is fusion. It isn't ready to roll out yet, is it?
