Can we cut fossil fuel delivery?

#4085

The idea of cutting oil and coal by some percent per month to reach the r goals of cutting agreed to in Paris (and others) is clear, but is there any way to do it? I have not been able to imagine such a system. In most cases, the physical apparatus- measurement, valves don’t seem to exist. Let’s say we tell a customer we will cut their propane delivery by 2% next month. How can we do it? After the delivery of 98% delivery stops, the house goes cold, the factory stops, This is not gonna happen.

We have an infrastructure that allows for 100% or no cutting at many points in the system. Such a patchwork system is probably unmanageable and certainly unfair.
