I agree with this, but I want to specify: inefficiencies, as I imagine it, would include a great deal of the luxuries we enjoy but do not need. McMansions, SUV's, ridiculous suburban lawns, excessive electronic and clothing waste, etc, need to go. I'm betting that certain systems of measurement would consider the loss of these things as a decrease in the quality of life, but I do not. In fact, I think relinquishing luxuries of these kinds would do a great deal of good for most Americans.
And I don't want to be one of those consumerist wokescolds that attributes all climate change to the individual choices of people who do these things, the removal of these things will be the inevitable effect of a redistribution of power away from the McMansion-holders and towards others.
