No PC battlestation, and a family of four living in 650 sqft. It might not be the kind of phone you're thinking of, either, since dumb phones still have a following in poor countries. But sure, you can still live a happy life that way.

It will not be achieved by a carbon tax.

I mean, if aliens invaded and forced us to put on a $1,000,000 per tonne carbon tax, fossil fuel burning would stop pretty entirely. IIRC the economic response to the carbon taxes we've had has been pretty much as expected.

That's not unusual though in EU or Korea or Japan I figure. I grew up in 500 ft².

And I think the idea is that you can still afford more luxuries, and that this would only be the start, what we could do with current tech and production capabilities and equal distribution.
