We don’t select the larger chunks like industry, aviation, marine transport, we pick each individual car and press delete.

In fairness...

The nuclear powered cargo ship is already here.

And as China is the premier builder of trans-Pacific cargo ships (1,500 to 1,700 ships per year, which is more than the US has built in the last ten) this is technically getting addressed.

Also, incidentally, the premier electric car manufacturers are almost entirely East Asian. The only functional airplane manufacturer is French. Heavy industry in the US is on the verge of total collapse (outside AI and Bitcoin mining).

The US plan to cut emissions is basically just Degrowth.
