I believe any honest and informed attempt to carefully weigh the benefits and side-effects of continuing fossil fuel use will conclude that "net zero by 2050" is apocalyptically destructive and that we need the "energy freedom" to use a lot of FFs + rapidly develop alternatives. — PolitiTweet.org

A note on "net zero by 2050" policies. Unlike other proposed policies one might criticize, these are not untested, let alone promising policies. *They are tested-and-failed policies that are harming billions of lives right now.* Even though they are only at 1% implementation! — PolitiTweet.org
