@highwaystar101,
Here is the issue (and this is a real issue). Today in the US, dozens of people die a year due to not being able to afford energy costs, and freezing to death.
If we more then tripled our energy costs (a requirement to do what you want) It will move to hundreds, or maybe thousands who will die.
Now, If we knew the world was going to be destroyed if we didn't do this, then I say we still do it, as it's what's required for the planet, and the tragic side effect of killing people can't be avoided.
If it makes very little difference in that regard however, forcing those people to go without heat is irresponsible, and possibly criminal.
