The problem isn't the amount of usage of electricity, the problem is CO2.

They are for the most part interlinked. Even with solar. Also, we have more problems than CO2.

Buying an AC isn't climate-neutral even if electricity is free (and that is also without taking into account that "free electricity" doesn't come for free, and additionally, in time needs maintenance and replacing as well).

Producing a billion electric vehicles and enough solar to sustain them isn't either.

Yeah but earth overshoot day would be way later if we ran solar powered electric cars. So that's a good thing.

The point was that it's not good enough.

I'd like to see your math on that.

You said it yourself that it would just delay it...

But you think that solar panels and electric vehicles would be enough?

If it is delayed past the years end we are good, are we not?
