Agree. The climate-friendly path must become the path of least resistance if we want to have any hope of staying within the 1.5C threshold.

Three step process to get there:

1. Identify the optimal "climate path" for every need- transportation, consumer goods, etc...

2. Disincentivize all other paths via penalties (taxes & regulations)

3. Incentivize the climate path via subsidies

It will take large scale government action first. Technological solutions will come as a result of the new financial rules of the game.
