    I was reading the dutch oil shortage crisis plan, and its full of measures that really should have been taken to combat climate change. Some examples:

    – ships cant move with an empty cargo hold
    – stimulus to work from home
    – free public transport
    – outlaw diesel generators for non-critical use
    – stimulus for companies to switch to renewables or more efficient equipment
    – rules for more efficient trucking
