If automobiles all used advanced batteries and only electric motors, and
heating/cooling systems used only electricity, and all electricity came
from generation facilities that did not output CO2, then what's the
problem? The issues with accumulated CO2 are still there no matter
what policies for energy use are adopted. Both stopping the output of
huge amounts of CO2 and sequestering the debt seem reasonable to cast as
technology issues.
