Yes - this has been pretty much agreed by those considering this option.

24% of greenhouse gases are produced by power stations - this presumably could steadily be reduced to close to zero.

The others being Transport [24%] much of which could be reduced with a electric [nuclear] powered rail service - electric cars are being developed beyond what we presently have - although they haven't found a way of hurling giant chunks of metal with people inside [aircraft] into the air without fossil fuel, I don't think.

Agriculture 14%, Industry 14%, Land Use 14%, Buildings 8% and other 5% the remaining elements.
