Unfortunately, his main point is 100% correct. According to the recent IPCC report, if we want to limit warming to 1.5C, we need to be at zero net carbon by 2025. But, we literally can't build the plants fast enough to accomplish that. See my comment a few weeks ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27835924

There is nothing we can do at this point to hit the 2025 target of net zero using anything…

People like him are just as responsible for the current crisis as Halliburton et al.

France has one of the cleanest grids on the planet with less than 10% of electricity produced using fossil fuels. And it has been the case for decades. If all developed countries would’ve been even close to this we would’ve been at a very different situation right now.

Exactly. Had we started decarbonizing 25 years ago, we'd be in great shape today, too.
