I keep asking the question... could the NetZero journey be unnecessary, with scientific show downs with the UN IPCC not far away.
Many are concerned that we are forcing people to change lifestyle over the climate change emergency.
But lets also look at the strong facts that the NetZero process is technologically unattainable, and economically unviable with a huge part of the global population far from ready or able to participate or ready to sign up as they fight poverty by increasing their use of fossil fuels.
Here is some materials that supports this statement….
The so-called renewables technologies will create far worse environmental problems than our existing fossil fuel technologies due to underdeveloped supply-chains that will require extensive resources that will drive drastically expensive and dirty mining and refining projects for raw materials that are already in scarce supply.

Mark Mills? The oil man? Come on Jake, he has no credibility about clean energy - he's a dirty energy guy! Read about him at https://www.desmog.com/mark-p-mills/
An efficient market produces far more net benefits to everyone than letting pollution be free. This is fundamental economics. Rebating to all households on an equal basis each month the money collected from a carbon polluters fee paid only by the fossil fuel industry will put most families ahead of where they are now financially.
The other reason to do this is to protect US competitiveness in a world where carbon pricing is rapidly spreading, prices are rising, and CBAMs are coming. If we don't do it soon, we'll end up paying others for our climate pollution in trade rather than rebating the money collected to US families.
Just an FYI that Jake (and others) have been banned from further discussion on Volts. Diverse perspectives are welcome but one of our community's guidelines is that discussion participants accept the basic premise of Volts (that decarbonizing is essential).

It's time to close the growing US carbon price gap: https://bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-pdf.
