What imperfect plan is there? The low hanging fruit are Renewables (and nuclear as last resort) and electrification of transport. Unfortunately they depend on the construction of a grid that is built for decentralized power generation compared to large scale central power plants. This requires government action. The only major roadblock to electric cars is the missing charging infrastructure. You can get a nice used EV for 15k€ or less and it will pay for itself because electricity is cheaper than gas. Again we need the government to act before apartments will be equipped with chargers.

The low hanging fruit is some kind of penalty on CO2 enissions.
