    It’s more effective on a finite budget. Just like focusing on a rehabilitation is better than focusing on punishment in prisons. The Norwegian method spends way more per person but the ones that go through the system are much less likely to come back. This means that per person Norway spends way less than a lot of other countries.

    Norway spends 3x more per prisoner than the US but spend half as much on prisons.

    Shipping and flights are the tricky ones because the energy density of fossil fuels is hard to beat, but we’re still going to replace majority of those.

    It’s all in the works, just not happening fast enough. Net zero 2050 is still technically achievable, decarbonising electricity and lowering electricity prices is a crucial first step which makes other green solutions more attractive.
