Makes on wonder if the larger oil and gas companies and countries are intentionally delaying the transition away. They could buy raw materials to get prices high. They could buy companies to lock up patents and scuttle products.
They have been non-credibly accused of such since the 1960’s and have been “making investments” at least since the 2000’s.
“Net Zero” was often bs anyway with the legitimacy of some of the carbon credits anyway
Carbon credits are BS anyway - FTFY. With self-reporting, difficult to quantify metrics, and industry resistance, it was doomed to failure from the start, and we spent a lot of time gaslighting ourselves that it could work.
That effort would have been much better spent making as many technologies as green as possible, or researching green alternatives.
