I think we need to reduce carbon, but going for net zero tin too many industries oo fast seems it's driving a push to an all or nothing gambit that is trending toward failure. A less ambitious and dogmatic goal of say, reducing to 20% of previous carfbon output by some date certain seems much more likely to have a real impact amid current techology and economic realities.
So yeah, let's drop coal and oil-fired plants in favor of natural gas, build solar and wind generation as fast as the grid can absorb it reliably and current supply chain sourcing can provide parts sustainably. At the same time, we should probably stop pushing too hard to eliminate every last natural gas plant until we've proven absolutely that the grid is stable and can support high electric usage cheaply and at a high growth rate commensurate with growing demand and more electrification. Not projected, but proven based on weathering demand surges in both summer and winter months over a period of two to three years. Support plug-in hybrids equally with pure EVs until the charging infrastructure is not only planned, but already built. Start building electric storage capacity, but at a rate that doesn't mean we're trading off strip mining for lithium or cobalt or whatever that will cause our next generation of environmental problems. Also make sure the grid is secure against a Carrington event. And shut the hell up about people's natural gas stoves, home heating, and backup generators, because people just won't tolerate that much authoritarian control of their lives.
This is just like any other engineering problem, we need to take the 80% solution as a win, and try and refine the last 20% later, and if needed, compensate for the 20% with a small amount of environmental geoengineering.
