I’m aware of the gargantuan scale it will take to achieve global effective zero-emissions, I just think that people underestimate how surprisingly easily and rapidly this can be achieved. The amount of resources it would take are also surprisingly low, and even without taking into account robust-supply chains, technologically innovation and socialism, I suspect that post-scarcity could being as soon as a decade after effective zero-emissions is achieved. Of course there are thousands of factors, and post-scarcity will mean different things in different contexts with different levels of advancement and different materials and conditions.
I’ve read multiple studies about this, and one of the most robust studies I found, said that globally speaking, the entire planet could ditch fossil fuels and switch to 100 percent renewable energy/purely green technology, effective zero-emissions, and still have more than enough power to keep society more functional and connected than it is today, and provide a nearly 1st-world standard of living for every person on Earth, in as little as 5 YEARS.
The study noted though that this effort would be roughly on the same scale and require even more global effort/cooperation than the Allies had during World War 2.
