Solar seems to be a good option that people like. Make it easier and cheaper to deploy and you’ll get massive uptake. “Would you like energy independence and lower energy costs for the next 20+yrs?” “Yea please”
Replacing our trips to the gas and service stations with an electric car seems like an easy pill to swallow. standardizing chargers is a great first step. Now make them first class citizens and people will be happier with them. There has been phenomenal demand for electric fords and Tesla seems to be on a roll selling the things.
Reducing methane emissions from cattle by using a dietary supplement is an easy option too. Make the technology available and incentivize it’s use and everyone will do it.
It seems a combination of policy and technological innovations could really move climate change mitigation efforts forward. Use policy to make the best thing the cheapest thing and you win. And by win I mean “win our planet back so our grandkids to inherit a world that’s not a steaming pile of crap”.
