Promises: Hard To Keep Climate Pledges When They Can’t Work

  • The G7 is facing criticism for its failure to set firm deadlines on the phasing out of coal and natural gas – the real focus should still be on emission reduction.
  • Education is key, as climate activists must recognize the consequences of what they are demanding (inflation and disorder) – ambitious alternatives exist.
  • But GHG reduction is as likely to become as politicized in the US through this next election cycle as COVID was in the last. Large rifts with Europe could develop.
  • The NEOM project looks unprofitable, especially if the hydrogen is intended for Europe – higher handling costs in Europe could offset lower power costs in Saudi.
  • Otherwise, we look at battery recycling, the high cost of carbon abatement, more on hydrogen costs and values, lithium, biofuels, and dogs.
