Where the curve breaks

The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Rome (27.2 kg, 10.8 h) to Trapani (340 kg, 11.3 h) buys 0.5 hours more sunshine for an extra 313 kg — 625 kg of CO₂e per hour. That single step is the most expensive sunshine on the whole curve.

If you'd rather have heat than sunshine
