      A heat pump is not a sacrifice. An electric car is not a sacrifice, even well-working public transit is not a sacrifice. Wind/solar are not sacrifices. Vegan diets become less of a sacrifice by the day. All of that would get the bottom 80% of the population a large part of the way, right now. The only people that would really have to sacrifice are those who are the richest.

          It irks me how little people in my area are actually critical of our car dependence. Even though personal vehicles create significant pollution, it would still be worth just for the health and quality of life benefits alone.
