We need the continued productivity growth from cost-effective energy, which right now means mostly fossil fuels, in order to develop truly cost-competitive alternatives on a global scale. The economic destruction and regression or "net zero" will prevent good alternatives. — PolitiTweet.org

Note: While net zero policies will lessen climate impact short-term, energy freedom policies are more likely to lead to long-term emissions reductions. Why? Because they accelerate the rate at which nuclear and other alternatives become globally cost-competitive. — PolitiTweet.org

In practice, because "net zero" policies are apocalyptically destructive, they will not be implemented. What will happen is that they do catastrophic destruction and actually slow the emergence of low-carbon alternatives. This is exactly what's happening in Europe. — PolitiTweet.org
