Well…the reason we headlined this story in our year-end wrap-up is that it came from the International Energy Agency, then reinforced by the mid-autumn modelling report that the IEA signposts as the “gold standard of energy analysis”. I don’t think anyone is suggesting (yet) that a net-zero pathway is cast in stone. But as your comment demonstrates, it’s news that more and more agencies and practitioners are questioning whether the high-carbon future you describe is a given…and pointing to practical, affordable, plausible alternatives to continued reliance on technologies that fry the planet when used as directed.
