1. Economic and political feasibility
The GND is a massive and ambitious proposal that would require a significant investment of resources, both financial and political. It would require a significant overhaul of the current energy system, as well as changes to transportation, agriculture, and other sectors of the economy. These changes would require a significant amount of planning and coordination, and would likely take many years to implement.
2. Social and behavioral change
The GND also proposes a number of changes to social and behavioral patterns, such as reducing meat consumption and transitioning to public transportation. These changes would require a significant amount of public education and awareness-raising, and would likely take many years to become fully ingrained in society.
3. Technological development
Some of the technologies proposed by the GND, such as carbon capture and storage, are still in their early stages of development and would need to be further refined before they could be widely implemented. This would also take time and investment.
4. Political opposition
The GND is a controversial proposal that has faced significant opposition from both Republicans and Democrats. It is unlikely that such a sweeping package of policies could be passed into law without significant compromise.
For these reasons, it is simply not realistic to expect the GND to be implemented overnight. It is a long-term vision that will require years of planning, investment, and public support to achieve.
