I'm always at a loss with this argument. How does chasing cheaper sources of energy that also happen to be renewable hurt the poor? Gas generators cost the most per kWh to run. Our electricity prices rocketted because of natural gas prices rocketing.
If we'd managed to get off gas sooner we'd have clean cheap power, and energy independence.
It's clearly not cheaper, is it! Energy prices are higher than they have ever been! What are yuo talking about? Do you know anyone that lives in poverty? I do, I help them financially. These people are struggling, and NetZero is not helpful.
Wind is not cheap. We can do better than this
Edit: Seriously, I'm willing to be convinced but I am at a loss whenever I see people deny that increased inflation hurts people with less money than it does people like you. If you need me to explain how it works (that as a % of your income, poorer people will pay FAR MORE in energy, housing, food, and other inflation-related costs, which, you know, is in part fueled by chasing NetZero) I'll happily sacrifice my time to help you understand.
